The 7th annual Indigenous Film Festival is being held in Forest this weekend.

Organizer Candace Scott-Moore said they want everyone to learn and heal together.

“The reason we started this was so that we can bring our communities together,” said Scott-Moore. “We want to share Indigenous stories. We want Indigenous voices to be heard and — through that understanding of who we are as Indigenous people in Canada — once people understand and hear our stories, that’s where that healing comes in.”

Doors to the Kineto Theatre open at 6:15 p.m. on Friday.

Local films, made by area students, will be showcased, and work by Indigenous artisans and food will be sold.
