Event in Room: Studio (upstairs)
DIRECTOR: Jeff Barnaby (Mi’qmaw) / YEAR: 2019 / RUN TIME: 96min / GENRE: Action/Adventure, Drama, Horror
The term “blood quantum” refers to a colonial system enforced on Indigenous peoples in North America which determines their individual status and rights based on their “percentage” of Indigenous ancestry. It is a tool of control, assimilation and erasure of Indigenous peoples.
In this brilliantly provocative horror film set in an isolated Mi’kmaq community, the Indigenous population remains immune to a raging zombie virus infecting the surrounding white population.
Blood soaked, fast paced and darkly comic, Blood Quantum is a wild ride using the zombie genre as a vehicle to explore white supremacy, colonialism, genocide and Indigenous self-determination.
WRITER: Jeff Barnaby (Mi’qmaw) / CAST: Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (Blackfoot/Sámi), Michael Greyeyes (Plains Cree), Forrest Goodluck (Diné/Mandan/Hidatsa/Tsimshian) / PRODUCERS: John Christou, Robert Vroom / LANGUAGE: English, Mi'kmaq
