Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival 2024

We are thrilled to announce that Indigenous storytellers and filmmakers Children of the Setting Sun Productions will bring two short films to Wooden Boat Festival for Saturday night’s Movie Special: The Sound and West Shore.
In their own words: “Children of the Setting Sun’s responsibility is to create and share Indigenous stories of gratitude, generosity, and respect, to empower the minds and hearts of future generations.”
The Sound is a coming-of-age TV drama that follows a group of Indigenous Coast Salish teens as they travel through their ancestral waterways in a traditional canoe. Their journey starts as an escape from hurt and trauma but soon becomes a purposeful route to transformation and self-discovery. At Festival they will share their proof-of-concept pilot episode!

West Shore is a story of the 2023 Paddle to Muckleshoot with the West Shore Canoe Family.
Both screenings will take place on Saturday, September 7, at 6:30 PM on the Cruising & Technical Stages.
