F1RST: A Celebration of Indigenous Film – The Business of Fancydancing

Saturday, July 18 at 4:15 PM Seymour (Evan Adams), a celebrated poet, returns home and into the ghosts of the stories that made him famous. Is he preserving his culture or profiting from it? This powerful, genre-defying debut from Sherman Alexie (Spokane Tribe of the Spokane Reservation) still cuts deep 24 years later. Don’t miss the remastered retrospective screening with Sherman Alexie in attendance for a haunting, provocative journey into identity, memory, and the cost of telling his people’s truth. 19+. Not rated. (Victoria Film Festival membership required $2 – can be purchased online or at door) $14.29 Plus Service Fee Venue: The Vic Theatre.
