STOODIS Indigenous Film Festival
2024-09-27 - 2024-09-30 | Nelson Civic Theatre, 719 Vernon St Suite 103, Nelson, BC, BC V1L 4G3, Canada
In 2023, the STOODIS Indigenous Film Festival debuted, exploring the film industry’s “Colonial Gaze” and immersing audiences in authentic Indigenous narratives. Thomas King’s words, “The truth about stories, is that’s all we are,” underscored the festival’s emphasis on the profound impact of storytelling, particularly on youth.
The festival’s design draws inspiration from the Medicine Wheel, a symbol of cultural significance, representing life’s various facets for Indigenous communities. STOODIS aims to promote the normalization and celebration of Indigenous presence and perspectives. In the predominantly rural, settler community in which we live, the festival seeks to cultivate knowledge, support, and humanization of Indigenous people, fostering a shared understanding of past, present, and future.
In 2024, STOODIS will offer a celebration of diverse and compelling storytelling through film, live performances, and community engagement and conversations. The festival aims to showcase the work of emerging and established Indigenous artists while fostering a sense of community and cultural exchange. This year, STOODIS will spotlight global Indigenous resistance, excellence, and resurgence.

It’s a free event! Richard will be selling copies (autographed!) if you’d care to take one home so you can find out what happened in the end.

Frank and the Elephants: A Romance of the Rockies was a finalist for the Sunshine Coast Writers and Editors Book Awards.
” A vivid writer conveying a strong sense of place and time. I really did feel myself in 1920s Cranbrook. And the story, of course, is fascinating. Beautifully captured, and a charming love story.” Iona Whishaw – author of the Lane Winslow Mysteries
“Using his considerable gifts as a storyteller, Rowberry spins a tale with equal measures of humour and humanity. So engaging are the exploits of Frank—in love and in elephants—that a reader might not even notice the meticulous research that has served to place us so authentically in 1920s small-town B.C. ” Anne DeGrace – Award-winning Kootenay Author
“This is a hilarious tongue in cheek tale of an absurd situation in small town BC. I laughed throughout and followed along through the geography of the region I know so well. A true Canadian classic.” Bob McDonald host of CBC’s Quirks and Quarks

Andrea shares her personal story of healing and transformation through creativity. This exhibit is a reflection of the resilience of our spirits and the power of art as a tool for recovery and self-discovery.
Andrea’s work, which started as a way to cope with the trauma of spousal abuse, evolved into an expression of joy, strength, and authenticity. Her incredible clay sculptures are more than just art; they are a reflection of her path from pain to peace, and from survival to an authentic life.
Join us for an inspiring afternoon where Andrea will share how her creative process became a form of art therapy, allowing her to channel her emotions and experiences into something beautiful and empowering. This is not a story of suffering, but one of healing, hope, and the incredible power of creativity to shape our lives.
Come, take in this uplifting exhibit, and see the artworks that have not only transformed Andrea’s life but also are a beacon of hope for others in their own experience of healing.

Author Reading at Huckleberry Books in Cranbrook, B.C.
2024-10-17 19:30 - 20:00 (America/Edmonton) | Huckleberry Books Inc, 16 9 Ave S, Cranbrook, BC, V1C 2L8
Cranbrook – Thursday, Oct 17th – 7:00pm! Join Kootenay author and musician Shelby Knudsen as she speaks about her latest novel, One Night Only. Knudsen has been a member of the band Wild Honey for over a decade. Her debut novel, Mountain Girl, was a heart-pounding thriller about forbidden love and captivity. In her second novel, Knudsen dives into the dark side of the music industry. Kirkus Reviews selected One Night Only as the indie pick for August, and declared “Knudsen’s novel is tense and unrelenting; the author masterfully creates an immersive, claustrophobic atmosphere as Sky’s health, relationships, and sense of self become increasingly strained.” And with a Five Star review, Reader Views said, “One Night Only by Shelby Knudsen is a deeply affecting novel about addiction, love, and the magic of music. The author has intricately created a world of contrast, one where Sky is forced to place her life (and dreams) on a hiatus and take care of herself, and the other where she signs her future over to someone else for the promise of an enviable music career. Raw, poignant, and achingly beautiful—this book needs to be at the top of your reading pile for 2024!”
Shelby will be interviewed by her Wild Honey bandmate Jessica Niedermayer, followed by a few songs by the acoustic trio. Don’t miss this special night, celebrating local talent and music.

No two seasons are the same, of course: Further in the Alpine is a continuation of this backcountry hut-keeper’s impressions as she engages with the park’s wild residents, its visitors, and her own human vulnerability through words and drawings that offer an intimate glimpse of life in the Alpine.
Short Film “In your Mind’s Eye”
In 2022 Petra created this 20 minute short film with the subtitle Moods of Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park and it won the first price at the North Valley Mountain Film Festival! Come enjoy this film on a big screen during her book launch. The film was co-created with Whitney Taylor (film) and Sam Harrisson (soundscape & audio)
