Aki

Kino Laika presents the European premiere of the documentary Aki on Thursday, October 15 at 6 p.m.

The screening is organized in collaboration with Cinemaissin, the Latin American Film Festival.

Aki is a meditative portrait of life in the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek community - the home of filmmaker Darlene Naponse - in northern Ontario. The film follows the daily life of the Anishinaabe people through the cycle of seasons, exploring the land, water, animals, ceremonies, work, and community life without traditional narrative. Aki allows stories to emerge through gestures, sounds, and the changing rhythms of nature.
