The
community screening held at the end of the week was a great success!
It was held at Tluu Xaada Naay Long House in Old Masset and was a
packed house. Thanks to the grant from Northern Credit Savings Union
we were able to hire a contact of Nate’s hired Jack who brought his professional projector, enormous screen and beautiful
sound system. Each film was a great hit with the audience. We
followed the screening with a Q & A session, where the youth
individually talked about where their films. Audience members were
also quite animated and we had a few very encouraging and positive
remarks from the community. It was a magical evening. We really felt
that the youth were delivering something that was not only about
their own expression and accomplishment; but that the pieces were
real contributions in the Haida language back to their community as
well.
