Film Festival


The 2010 Tofino Indigenous Film Festival is a film festival that will take place from Monday May 10 to Friday May 14, 2009. Over the five evenings, a combination of short films and feature length films will be shown to a local audience and Ethnobiology Congress participants. Some of these films are made by Indigenous peoples, some made with Indigenous peoples - all of them highlight ethnobiology issues in Indigenous communities around the world.
