Untamed Gourmet
WORLD PREMIERE Episode 1 Season 2
Untamed Gourmet explores the connection between food and the land. In a time where food is readily available to us from anywhere in the world, we sometimes forget that everything we eat has a connection to the natural world around us. Untamed Gourmet brings this connection to the forefront as we watch a meal evolve – from inspiration, to collection, to preparation – all in a landscape where the ingredients are found or grown. Each episode takes us to a new region to follow a different chef and local guide skilled at seeking fresh regional ingredients. BONUS EPISODE from season 1 featuring Dickie Yuzicapi, the Sioux Chef, who is catering a menu inspired by his appearance.

We Were Children
As young children, Lyna and Glen were taken from their homes and placed in church-run boarding schools. The trauma of this experience was made worse by years of untold physical, sexual and emotional abuse, the effects of which persist in their adult lives. In this emotional film, the profound impact of the Canadian government’s residential school system is conveyed unflinchingly through the eyes of two children who were forced to face hardships beyond their years. We Were Children gives voice to a national tragedy and demonstrates the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Featuring Glen Anaquod and Lyna Hart.
Directed by Tim Wolochatiuk and written by Jason Sherman, We Were Children is produced by Kyle Irving for Eagle Vision Inc. and David Christensen for the National Film Board of Canada (NFB).

Hood Celebrity Official Selection
WORLD PREMIERE
In North Central Regina, Tommy Da is a superstar. He and the other members of the group, Blazin’ Nativez, rap about life in the neighbourhood once deemed “Canada’s Worst” by Maclean’s magazine. Far from ashamed by the neighbourhood’s image, Tommy has Washington Park, the area he lives, tattooed on his arms. Tommy’s life is a struggle to balance a budding musical career with legal problems tied to his other life; all while raising an 11-year-old daughter.
Hood Celebrity takes you inside North Central: to the parties where Blazin’ Nativez music is the soundtrack of the street. For most people, gangster rap is entertainment. For Tommy and his brothers, it’s life.

Amaqqut Nunaat: The Country of Wolves Official Selection
Amaqqut Nunaat is a traditional Inuit story about two brothers who find themselves adrift on broken sea ice while out hunting for seal. They drift in the darkness for many days, until the ice they are on settles on the shore of a strange and distant land–a land where men can shape-shift into wolves and music and merriment can be the sounds of danger. Quickly the brothers realize that in the Country of Wolves, nothing is what it seems.
