A film by Bretten Hannam
(Canada, 2021, 108 min.)

1 show for this event

A road movie combined with a coming-of-age story set in the spectacular Canadian territories of the Mi’kmaq people. Link is a teenager who is searching for his own identity and discovering his own desires. After running away from his abusive father, he and his younger brother embark on a journey to find their birth mother. Meeting Pasmay, a Native American who honors the rituals of his secular culture, connects the two brothers with their indigenous heritage. An intense and deep story that delicately and poetically tells us about the physical and emotional journey of individuals discovering their roots and identity.

Bretten Hannam is an indigenous L’nu Two-Spirit filmmaker living in Kespukwitk, L’nuekati (Nova Scotia), where he grew up. His films deal with themes of community, culture and language, with a focus on Two-Spirit and LGBTQ+ identity. He wrote and directed North Mountain and directed the short film Wildfire, a short from which his film version Wildhood premiered at TIFF 2021.
