The Colchester Film Society is thrilled to continue our TIFF: Film Circuit screenings at The Marigold Cultural Centre with an unforgettable, visceral supernatural thriller: Bretten Hannam’s deeply personal and chilling film, Sk+te’kmujue’katik (At The Place of Ghosts)!
Eleven years in the writing, the story follows siblings Mise’l and Antle, close confidants in childhood who have drifted apart as adults. When a malevolent spirit begins tormenting them, the siblings are forced to reunite and journey into Sk+te’kmujue’katik, a primordial forest that exists outside of time, to confront the violence of their shared upbringing.
Crafted by Two-Spirit, L’nu filmmaker Bretten Hannam from Kespukwitk, L’nuekati (Nova Scotia), the film masterfully weaves themes of community, culture, language, and Two-Spirit identity into a thrilling cinematic experience.
Join us on October 5, 2026, at the Marigold Cultural Centre! Doors open at 6:30 PM and the show starts at 7:00 PM. Grab your popcorn, if you dare, for another powerful night of movie magic.
Before we start the film, we will also be screening the short film Buffalo, another Nova Scotian film. The film follows Michelle Tweed, an Indigenous drum maker based in Rockfield, Nova Scotia. We follow her as she crafts a drum using buffalo hide sourced from Verhagan Bison Farms. Michelle collaborates with students from the Pictou County Forestry School to create this drum, highlighting the power of community learning alongside Mother Nature and the spirit of the land. This journey brings people together, culminating in a celebration where handmade drums are presented to the Verhagen family.
