TIFF Canada’s Top Ten – The Cave

We are pleased to hear from Rugged Media the aboriginal short film “The Cave” by Writer/Director Helen Haig-Brown of the Tsilhqot’in tribe has been selected to screen as part of the Toronto International Film Festival’s Top Ten (TIFF).

The Cave

Set in 1961 in the Chilcotin Territory of Western Canada, The Cave recounts the story of a bear hunter who discovers a secret portal to the spirit world. This beautifully crafted film provides a powerful cinematic rendering of an authentic Tsilhqot’in oral story.

Helen Haig-Brown is an award-winning Tsilhqot’in director, director of photography and teacher who is in love with experimental documentary filmmaking. The Cave is her first dramatic film. She resides in her traditional lands in the interior of British Columbia.
