Juneau – The Alaska State Museum announces a free screening of a recently completed short film, “The River That Untangles One’s Mind,” at noon this Friday, February 14. The public is invited to experience and celebrate this beautiful, artistic film, which will be followed with a short Q+A discussion with the creative team that created this film.
Skaydu.û Jules is Daḵlʼaweidí (Eagle/Killer Whale clan) from the Interior Deisleen Ḵwáan (Teslin People). Jules is a multidisciplinary artist, a Tlingit language teacher, currently a senior at the University of Alaska Southeast, and is an apprentice carver currently working on a 30-foot red cedar dugout canoe with Tlingit Master carver Wayne Price. Guná Megan Jensen co-created and co-directed the film with Jules, and language guidance was offered by X̱’unei Lance Twitchell. The film was produced by Douglas Joe of Creative Crow Media. A continuous source of support for this project and film screening came from Cherri and Wayne Price, who consistently hold up and create space for healing events that bring community together. The project itself was inspired and created under the organization “Illuminating Worldviews, RIVER and Northern Council for Global Cooperation,” an initiative which fosters reciprocity in transcultural collaboration.
This event is offered free of charge, and seating is limited to 100 in the lecture hall at the Andrew P. Kashevaroff Building, 395 Whittier Street, downtown Juneau. The presentation is part of the Alaska Maritime Heritage Preservation Program which advances public awareness of Alaska’s significant maritime resources, collections, and traditional knowledge and skills.
