Edge of the Knife - Oct 23

Edge of the Knife (2018)

Edge of the Knife (Haida: SG̲aawaay Ḵ'uuna, [sɢ̥aːwaːj qʼuːna]) is the first feature film spoken only in the Haida language.

AFS is pleased to screen Edge of the Knife, co-directed by Gwaai Edenshaw and Helen Haig-Brown.

With input from Haida Gwaii residents, the screenplay was written in 2015 by Gwaai and Jaalen Edenshaw, Graham Richard, and Leonie Sandercock with an aim to preserve and teach Haida, an endangered language.

"It is a film stacked with stunning imagery, where the natural and mythical get tangled. Edge Of The Knife begins by mourning for a lost future. But in telling this story it finds hope yet." - Radheyan Simonpillai, NOW Toronto
