This year, FRENCH FRENCH presents fresh new films from three distinguished cineastes who will be familiar to Vancouver’s devoted filmgoers for their acclaimed films in past editions.

In selecting the films for this program, VANDU wanted to show films that represent us as they are: not as poor, downtrodden victims of drugs and addiction, but as a community — sometimes a community of survival, but also sometimes as a chosen family and a community of interest. 

Sky Hopinka on behalf of Cousin Collective: "This is our contribution to the continuing conversation about what Indigenous cinema is and where it could go, and we’re looking forward to the future, to new voices, new forms and the new cousins and kin we’ll meet along the way."
