Woman Dress
20196 min 25 secFilm: Documentary
Direction: Theo Jean Cuthand
Production: Justine PimlottAnita Lee
Avant la colonisation européenne, une personne bispirituelle qu’on appelait Woman Dress sillonnait les Prairies, recueillant et racontant des récits. Le film s’appuie sur des images d’archives et sur des reconstitutions historiques pour nous transmettre cette histoire issue de la tradition orale de la famille Cuthand. Il rend hommage à Woman Dress et respecte son identité de genre en évitant d’imposer la binarité coloniale.
