SUMMARY:Windsor International Film Festival (WIFF)
DESCRIPTION:Wilfred Buck is screening at the WIFF!\n\nOctober 30\, 2024 @ 9
 :00am - Chrysler St. Clair Centre\n\nPurchase TICKETS\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nWILFRE
 D BUCK - directed by Lisa Jackson (2024\, 96 mins)\n\nHe’s from the “f
 resh-out-of-the-bush\, partly civilized\, colonized\, displaced people\,
 ” 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\, b
 ringing to life ancient teachings of Indigenous astronomy and cosmology to
  tell a story that spans generations. This hybrid feature documentary foll
 ows the extraordinary life of Wilfred Buck\, a charismatic and irreverent 
 Cree Elder who overcame a harrowing yet familiar history of displacement\,
  racism and addiction by reclaiming ancestral star knowledge and ceremony.
 \n\nBuck is humble\, profound\, funny\, always real and a master storytell
 er. As a young man\, his community in Northern Manitoba is forcibly reloca
 ted to make way for a hydroelectric dam\, Buck’s family loses everything
 . 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 transf
 orms his world.  Driven by insatiable curiosity and instructed by dreams\
 , Buck becomes a science educator and internationally respected star lore 
 expert. His mission is sharing these life-changing teachings—as relevant
  and urgent today as ever—always guided by ceremony and anchored in the 
 land.\n\nAdapted from Buck’s rollicking memoir I Have Lived Four Lives\
 , director Lisa Jackson deftly interweaves verité footage of Buck’s pre
 sent with archival footage and cinematic\, dramatized scenes from his past
 \, painting a portrait of a beloved leader who now stands at the forefront
  of the resurgence of Indigenous ways of knowing.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n[embed]htt
