SUMMARY:Wilfred Buck
DESCRIPTION:In honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation\, pl
 ease join the Remai Modern for this special screening of:\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nWI
 LFRED BUCK\n\nDirected by Lisa Jackson (2024\, 96 mins)\n\nHe’s from the
  “fresh-out-of-the-bush\, partly civilized\, colonized\, displaced peopl
 e\,” and he’s here to take us to the stars. Lisa Jackson’s portrait 
 of Cree Elder Wilfred Buck moves between earth and sky\, past and present\
 , bringing to life ancient teachings of Indigenous astronomy and cosmology
  to tell a story that spans generations. This hybrid feature documentary f
 ollows the extraordinary life of Wilfred Buck\, a charismatic and irrevere
 nt Cree Elder who overcame a harrowing yet familiar history of displacemen
 t\, racism and addiction by reclaiming ancestral star knowledge and ceremo
 ny.\n\nBuck is humble\, profound\, funny\, always real and a master storyt
 eller. As a young man\, his community in Northern Manitoba is forcibly rel
 ocated to make way for a hydroelectric dam\, Buck’s family loses everyth
 ing. He descends into the darkness of the city streets\, surviving any way
  he can\, until he reconnects with Elders who start him on a path that tra
 nsforms his world.  Driven by insatiable curiosity and instructed by drea
 ms\, Buck becomes a science educator and internationally respected star lo
 re expert. His mission is sharing these life-changing teachings—as relev
 ant and urgent today as ever—always guided by ceremony and anchored in t
 he land.\n\nAdapted from Buck’s rollicking memoir I Have Lived Four Liv
 es\, director Lisa Jackson deftly interweaves verité footage of Buck’s 
 present with archival footage and cinematic\, dramatized scenes from his p
 ast\, painting a portrait of a beloved leader who now stands at the forefr
 ont of the resurgence of Indigenous ways of knowing.\n\n------------------
 ------------------\n\nThe screening will take place in the Sasktel Theatre
  and is free and open to the public. No registration is required and seati
 ng is on a first-come first-served basis.\n\nMore information at: https://
