Duncan: Grateful festival-goers revel in aboriginal arts and film
Huy ch q’u.
The Hul’quimi’num word for thank-you resonated through the Cowichan Theatre during last week’s perennially successful Cowichan International Aboriginal Festival of Film & Art.
Comically understated main emcees Ray Peter and Tousilum (Ron George) led viewers in repeatedly giving thanks to elders, patrons, teachers, filmmakers and artists during the AFF that’s enjoyed steady attendance in the past six years.
“We’re definitely up,” said Louise McMurray of Film Cowichan.
“Our workshops were all full.”
Those workshops included drum making by Tousilum, and drumming with Pepe Danza but the focus was on youth filmmaking.
