The second edition of Folil Trafün (Joining Roots) will channel the power of films, photography and dialogue to specifically discuss themes of Indigenous Contested Lands and Rights of Nature. We want to learn how film and photography can advance the truth, reconciliation, and decolonization process within the UBC and other communities. We promote these efforts to help heal historical wounds, restore Indigenous rights and sovereignty, and protect the environment through a more holistic, respectful approach that honors Indigenous knowledge and stewardship practices.
From Fall 2024 to Spring 2025, we will organize four dynamic showcases on UBC’s campus and Vancouver Downtown. Although our target audience is mainly the historically, persistently, and systematically marginalized (HPSM) members of the UBC Community, the invitation is open to the public.
