Terror/Forming: Indigenous Horror Night

Join us for a spooky film screening of Terror/Forming, written and directed by Rylan Friday from Cote First Nation, Saskatchewan. Told in a one continuous shot over one evening, this Mumble-gore, nail-biter follows boyfriends Parker and Darren, who get detoured on their way to a remote cabin belonging to Parker’s late kokum. As events take a sinister turn, cracks show in their relationship. Stay for a special performance by drag artist, Continental Breakfast.
