National Indigenous Peoples Day - Directed by Darlene Naponse, AKI (Anishinaabemowin for "earth" or "land") is a meditative, visually immersive documentary set in Atikameksheng Anishnawbek in Northern Ontario, Canada. Filmed over seasonal years, this unscripted project unfolds entirely without narration or dialogue, instead relying on the aural textures of wind, water, animal and human life, and ceremony to tell the story of a people fully rooted in their land. The film is enhanced by a moving and stunning original score composed by Juno-nominated cellist and composer Cris Derksen.
