?E?anx (The Cave)

A hunter on horseback accidentally discovers a portal to the afterlife in this fantastical version of a true Tsilhqot’in story. As a Tsilhqot’in filmmaker interested in portraying her ancestral knowledge and experience on screen, Helen Haig-Brown recognizes that she and her community collectively hold the responsibility of doing right by the story. Helen situates filmmaking as a process where storytelling, community, language, and ancestral knowledge are central to artistic creation and healing.
