Surrounded by a family and a community who show her unconditional love as she follows her personal path\, Skylar faces the complexities of being a transgender girl on the cusp of puberty with refreshing honesty and unsh akeable dignity.\n\n \;\n\nGun Killers\n\nJason Young\n2019 | 10 min 40 s\n\nWritten and directed by Jason Young (Animals\, Inside Time)\, Gu n Killers takes us into the rural\, secluded paradise that retired blacks miths John and Nancy Little call home. As the tranquil light of a typical day of harvesting vegetables descends into night\, we experience the secre t work that John and Nancy are sometimes called upon to undertake for the RCMP.\n\n \;\n\nBalakrishna\n\nColin MacKenzie and Aparna Kapur\n2019  | 15 min\n\nAn extraordinary new resident arrived in the town of East Ri ver\, Nova Scotia\, in 1967: Balakrishna\, an Indian elephant. In Hindu an d Buddhist culture\, the elephant is a symbol of prosperity\, so an Indian businessman brought Balakrishna to attend the opening of his new factory. No one was more in awe of the creature than young Winton Cook\, and a won derful affection grew between the boy and his mammoth new friend. Using pa interly animation\, photographs and home-movie treasures\, Balakrishna t ransmits the wistfulness of childhood memories\, while evoking themes of f riendship and loss\, and issues of immigration and elephant conservation.\ n\n \;\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/12 /Skylar_HiRes-Screengrab_03.jpg CATEGORIES:Festivals,Paid Event LOCATION:Gulf Islands Secondary School (GISS)\, 232 Rainbow Road\, Salt Spr ing Island\, British Columbia\, V8K 2K3\, Salt Spring Island\, Canada GEO:48.855465;-123.508521 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=232 Rainbow Road\, Salt Spr ing Island\, British Columbia\, V8K 2K3\, Salt Spring Island\, Canada;X-AP PLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Gulf Islands Secondary School (GISS):geo:48.855465, -123.508521 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Vancouver X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Vancouver BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20191103T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0800 TZNAME:PST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
