Tickets now available for Treaty Day Film Festival!
January 4th, 2024
Children of the Setting Sun’s 6th Annual Treaty Day Film Festival (TDFF) is coming up! TDFF was created in remembrance of the 1855 Point Elliot Treaty. It is celebrated today to unify and educate the community on Indigenous perspectives and the issues we face today. From cultural identity to salmon and habitat revitalization, we aim to shed light on matters that impact our communities.
Due to the popularity of last year’s film festival, we have expanded to three days of programming. We are so excited to honor Treaty Day and share these Indigenous films with thousands of people in our community.
SCHOOLS
We are partnering with Bellingham Public Schools and the Mount Baker Theatre to host nearly 2,500 students in grades 4, 7 and 11 for Treaty Day Film Festival programming. This programming is in compliance with Washington State’s Since Time Immemorial curriculum mandate and provides a wonderful opportunity for students to learn more and ask questions.
TRIBAL SCREENING
We will be holding a special screening exclusively for the tribal community members in our area.This will be a free event hosted at the Silver Reef Casino and will also have free movie snacks Doors open at 5:30pm. No tickets are needed.
COMMUNITY
There will be two programs for the community on Saturday, January 20th at the Pickford Film Center. (PLEASE NOTE: The community program sold out in 2023, so please purchase your tickets quickly to ensure you have a seat.) The first session (10:00am) will include five short films, and the second (12:45pm) will feature Frybread Face and Me.
