Rosie Q & A - Saturday November 5
Scotiabank Theatre
2.30pm-4.30pm
Rosie (Keris Hope Hill) is a visibly Indigenous, English-speaking, sweet, and headstrong little girl and her mother has just died. A children’s services agent brings her to her only living relative, her Francophone aunt Frédèrique (Mélanie Bray). “Fred” doesn’t have a solid foundation on which to raise a child. She is unprepared — she’s working at an adult entertainment shop and threatened with eviction — and is at first unwilling to take on caring for her adopted sister’s young daughter.
Revues
Gail Maurice's 'Rosie' is a 'groundbreaking' bilingual, Indigenous and queer film
Post Sus
Maurice’s film does not wade in the cold waters of trauma like many of its counterparts, instead it chooses to swim in a warmer pool. ROSIE is not so much concerned with those that caused the emotional wounds the characters are nursing, but rather the healing that comes from one’s chosen family.
