SUMMARY:In the Shadow Beyond the Pines
DESCRIPTION:“Out here\, freaking out can get you killed. You just need to have faith. And besides\, this fire is sacred. It’ll keep us safe”  – George  \nSet in modern times but steeped in a dark and haunting past\, this atmospheric ghost story explores the shadows of Indigenous life and lore with a hint of humour.  \nAmid the mysteries of the vast wilderness of northern Manitoba\, three young men wrestle with the loss of their friend by reclaiming the cultural practice of lighting a sacred fire. When they realize they’ve forgotten the flashlight and their phones have died\, legends and memories are all they have to guide them through the night. Created in the Pimootayowin Creators Circle\, this world premiere will draw you in while making no promises of letting you go.
