Bright Lights:malni–towards the ocean, towards the shore

Free Event

Co-presented with the Roxbury International Film Festival, the Living on Earth podcast, DocYard and Emerson Contemporary Gallery

Directed by Sky Hopinka

This film follows Sweetwater Sahme and Jordan Mercier’s wanderings through each of their worlds as they wander through and contemplate the afterlife, rebirth, and the place in-between.  Spoken mostly in chinuk wawa, their stories are departures from the Chinookan origin of death myth, with its distant beginning and circular shape.
