We are excited and honoured to announce that this year`s RRIFF will feature TWO Q and A sessions with film-makers.
On Friday night, following a screening of the documentary, Singing Back the Buffalo, we will welcome to the stage Jade Tootoosis, Impact Producer of the film, along with Anthony Johnson, a director on the board of governors of Redberry Lake Biosphere Reserve, and one of two Elder Advisors for the Indigenous Circle for Biosphere Reserves in Canada, to participate in a panel discussion moderated by CTV Saskatoon`s Jeff Rogstad.
Saturday night, following a screening of Café Daughter, we will be joined by its director, Shelley Niro, and the Honourable Dr. Lillian Eva Quan Dyck OC, retired Canadian Senator (the film, and a play before it, with the same name, offer a fictionalized version of Dr. Dyck`s childhood). Jeff Rogstad has again kindly agreed to host this second panel discussion.
We cannot wait to learn from these esteemed Canadians!
