ICA-Art Conservation at Cleveland International Film Festival

Join ICA-Art Conservation at the Cleveland International Film Festival this year for our partner film, Hochelaga, Land of Souls. This film is part of #CIFF42’s World Tour series/side bar and will screen Thursday, April 5th at 7:15 PM, and Friday, April 6th at 5:20 PM at Tower City Cinemas.

Details from Cleveland International Film Festival‘s website:
During a football game at Molson Stadium in Montréal, a player is killed when a portion of the field collapses. Mohawk archeologist Baptiste Asigny is brought in to excavate the sinkhole. There is evidence to suggest this may be a site of great historic importance as Baptiste believes this could be where the lost village of Hochelaga was located. Centuries before, a descendant of Baptiste’s was a survivor of a massacre that occurred there. As the digging proceeds, a haunting tale is unearthed, one that links the fates of many peoples and many nations. The beautiful storytelling of HOCHELAGA, LAND OF SOULS moves backward and forward across the centuries. Families and cultures intricately weave through the generations to create a stunning tapestry of chance and destiny. The more Baptiste uncovers his story, the more we find he is uncovering ours as well. We all sail on the River of Time, and this mystical and gorgeous film is a journey that will reward every mind and spirit that takes it. (In English, Mohawk, and French with subtitles) —C.R.
