All of the seasons pass in bright blooms, vivid foliage, and white shining snow, in Darlene Naponse’s Aki. Set on Atikameksheng Anishnawbek, using time-lapse, split screens, and underwater footage, as well as a soundtrack from Juno Award–nominated cellist Cris Derkson, Naponse lets the subtleties and camaraderie inherent to life on a small Anishinaabe First Nation play out on screen. This is the perfect film for anyone curious about the beauty of First Nations’ communities, or for those longing for their homes on the land.
