(SK+TE'KMUJUE'KATIK)
Preceded by the short film: MUDDY WATER
Siblings Mise’l and Antle, close confidants as children, have drifted apart as adults. When a malevolent spirit begins tormenting them, the siblings are forced to reunite and journey into Sk+te'kmujue'katik (the Place of Ghosts), a primordial forest that exists outside of time, to confront their violent upbringing.
SK+TE'KMUJUE'KATIK (AT THE PLACE OF GHOSTS) is a visceral supernatural thriller, 11 years in the writing, elevated by the deeply personal work of Two-Spirit, L’nu filmmaker Bretten Hannam (WILDHOOD, CIFF 2021) from Kespukwitk, L’nuekati (Nova Scotia). Their films deal with themes of community, culture, and language with a focus on Two-Spirit and LGBTQ+ identity.
