January 14, 2025

‘Film is impactful and possesses the power to influence society,’ shares assistant professor Lyn Trudeau, who teaches a new Indigenous film course

The Film House and Brock University’s Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies / Department of Sociology are proud to announce Dibaajimo/ Tells a Story, a new curated film series set to kick off this January to coincide with a new Indigenous film course taught by assistant professor Lyn Trudeau.

During the Winter 2025 term, assistant professor Trudeau (Sagamok Anishinawbek First Nation, Eagle Clan) will deliver a new course at Brock University – Indigenous Film. To expand the potential reach and impact of her course, Dr. Trudeau has teamed up with the PAC’s programming team to curate a selection of titles covered in the course into a screening series for our community at The Film House.

“Film is impactful and possesses the power to influence society,” shares Dr. Trudeau. “The course and series have been designed to examine the effects of visual media, aesthetics, narrative structure, and the role film has had in shaping perspectives on the Indigenous populace within greater society as well as exemplifying the response by Indigenous filmmakers.”
