Description

Innis College and the Cinema Studies Institute present a special screening of Kanaval on February 20 in recognition of Black History Month. Filmmaker Henri Pardo will join after the screening for a discussion and Q&A.

Winner of TIFF’s 2023 Amplify Voices Award, Kanaval tells the story of Rico, a young boy who was brutally torn, along with his mother, from their native Haiti and relocated to Quebec in 1975. To mend a fractured relationship with his mother, Rico must come to understand the strange customs of his new world with the help of an imaginary friend, Kana, who emerges from Haitian mythology.
