Endless Cookie

27th TIDF: European Premiere

Exploring the complex bond between two half brothers — one Indigenous, one white — traveling from the present in isolated Shamattawa to bustling 1980s Toronto. Seth and Peter Scriver’s endearing handcrafted animated hangout film sweetly careens through issues of race and identity, making observations about city and reservation life that spring geysers of giggles everywhere it treads. From trying to make a documentary with clean sound while raising nine kids and a bunch of dogs, to incredible grocery and game trapping adventures, the Scrivers spin love yarn around their community, and the Caribou who make the kids do things they never thought they would. Sharply observed and rooted in an Indigenous resistance to colonialism, Endless Cookie is a smart, fun-to-watch documentary that sits gentle in its own skin. Pete and Seth offer an oral history and a cosmic vision as they unravel their bittersweet testimonials of life under the Canada sun.
