From the immersive sound production, which Hannam was directly involved in, to the incredible performance of lead actors Blake Alec Miranda and Forrest Goodluck,&nbsp;<em>Sk+te\u2019kmujue\u2019katik<\/em>&nbsp;is one to add to your watchlist&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sk+te\u2019kmujue\u2019katik<\/em>&nbsp;works in decolonial, non-linear time, and follows siblings Mise\u2019l (Miranda) and Antle (Goodluck) as they face a haunting presence from their past. To depict trauma allegorically, the film uses elements of horror, such as the appearance of spirits from the characters\u2019 individual and collective pasts \u2014 including spirits of their abusive father and of colonized ancestors. Some are benevolent, offering food and shelter, while others terrify both characters and audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday June 3 at 4:00 and 7:00 A 2025 Canadian&nbsp;thriller film.
