Yaqan Nu?Kiy Film Fest

Join us for Yaqan Nuʔkiy Film Fest, a community screening celebrating powerful short films rooted in Ktunaxa territory and community.

This special event brings together inspiring stories of land and water, culture and creation, stewardship, resilience, and hope. Through film, we gather to honour the voices, knowledge, and lived experiences that continue to shape and sustain our communities.

Featured Short Films:

• Sukni Songs (Trailer)
• Fire Resiliency featuring Ashley O'Neil
• The Wetlands by Norm Allard
• Bear from the Animal Nation series
• ʔak̓uǂni t̕i·kxawi¢ikimik: Paddling for All Things to Be Connected — A Yaqan Nuʔkiy youth-led film on the Ktunaxa Creation Story

Each film reflects deep connections to Ktunaxa lands and waters, highlighting the strength of community leadership, intergenerational knowledge, and cultural continuity.

This event is free and open to community members and partners. We welcome everyone to come together in a spirit of learning, reflection, and connection. Light refreshments will be provided following the screenings.

We look forward to gathering with you.
