Red Snow is a dramatic adventure that begins when Dylan, a Gwich'in soldier from the Canadian Arctic, is caught in an ambush in Panjwayi, Afghanistan. His capture and interrogation by a Taliban Commander releases a cache of memories connected to the love and death of his Inuit cousin, Asana, and binds him closer to a Pashtun family as they escape across treacherous landscapes and through a blizzard that becomes their key to survival.

Vuogáiduvvan follows a Sámi reindeer herder in the far north of Sápmi, facing the rapidly changing climate and the disappearance of conditions that have sustained reindeer herding for generations. The film shows what happens when snow turns to rain, when rain turns to ice, and when ancient knowledge meets new challenges that cannot be solved the old way. It tells the story of a culture deeply connected to the land, now struggling to hold on. Through one herder's experience, the film explores the deep uncertainty that climate change brings not only to animals and nature, but to identity, memory, and livelihood.

As the land changes, so too does our Dene languages. This film documents how language revitalization can lead to climate action. Often when we think of climate change, we think of how the water, land and animals are impacted. But what happens when Indigenous languages no longer have the words to describe what is now changing with the land, water and animals?
