Sat Apr 13: 4.00pm PDT International Uranium Film Festival 2024 [In-Person Only] Introduction (4pm) + Tribute to Klee Benally (4:15pm) + Transmutations screening (4:45pm) (Jesse Andrewartha, 2022, 69 min, in English) ** This screening is preceded by an event in memory of Navajo artist and activist Klee Benally, who is among those interviewed in Transmutations ** About Transmutations: Visualizing Matter | Materializing Vision is a multi-year project that explores the history, legacy and radioactivity of uranium mining during the Cold War in Canada and the US. Captured over the course of three years using 35mm motion picture film and digital technologies, the film reveals the mineral and the people whose lives have been impacted by uranium: ex-miners that toiled decades underground, Indigenous leaders and activists leading the charge to clean up the mines and the places that shifted the balance of power on a global scale. *** Public safety notice *** NWFF patrons will be required to wear masks that cover both nose and mouth while in the building.
