We’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with a free virtual screening of Barry Jenkins’ Oscar winning 2016 film, Moonlight. A meditation on Black masculinity, sexuality, and love, the film follows Chiron’s (Alex Hibbert, Ashton Sanders, and Trevante Rhodes) coming of age throughout three periods of his upbringing in 1980s Miami.

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we honour and acknowledge that this screening takes place on Moh’kinsstis and the traditional Treaty 7 territory, as well as the oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. Finally, we acknowledge all Nations, Indigenous and non, who live, work and play, as well as help steward this land, honour and celebrate this territory.
