AT THE PLACE OF GHOSTS
Siblings Mise’l and Antle must confront a past that still haunts them. Only by returning to Sk+te'kmujue'kati (the Place of Ghosts), can they face what lingers in the shadows and begin healing.
Description
Haunted by the past, siblings Mise’l (Blake Alec Miranda) and Antle (Forrest Goodluck) are destined to reunite and join forces against a dark spirit that emerges from their shared childhood. Once inseparable, their fractured relationship set by years of silence and a violent episode rooted in homophobia, is tested as they must return to Sk+te’kmujue’kati (the Place of Ghosts) a forest steeped in ancestral memory where time bends. What initiates from trauma soon transforms into an odyssey of healing, as Mise’l and Antle confront their caretaker’s cruelty, the weight of family secrets, and their own deepest fears. Visually stunning and emotionally raw, this extraordinary tale explores how love, even when repressed, can become the fiercest weapon against hate. Directed by NewFest alum Bretten Hannam (WILDHOOD), AT THE PLACE OF GHOSTS makes its U.S. Premiere at this year’s festival.
