Battle of the Belly River Project

The Battle of the Belly River is a significant event that happened between the Blackfoot people and a group of Crees in 1870. In order to focus on the Niitsitapi voices that have been ignored in the past, we are encouraging community members and families to share any stories of this event that have been passed down. We also understand that some families may even have items/artifacts from the event that they have been safekeeping for the family. We would be very interested in photographing these items and hearing the story that is associated with them.

This project was funded in part by the Government of Alberta.

 

Lethbridge Independent Film Festival 2024

Open Film Call

The Galt Museum & Archives | Akaisamitohkanao’pa (eternal gathering place) is announcing an open call for short films for the Lethbridge Independent Film Festival, formerly known as Lethbridge OnScreen Film Festival. As the festival has grown in scope, we have changed the name to grow with it.

Any aspect of audiovisual expression – visual, sound, narrative, genre, performance, theme... all approaches are encouraged for submission. This includes music videos. Films that exemplify and/or are made by under-represented voices will be prioritized. Films selected by the jury will be screened at the Lethbridge Independent Film Festival on September 7 and 8, 2024. In alignment with the Galt’s Mandate, the Lethbridge Independent Film Festival aims to deepen the sense of belonging for our community by reflecting the world around us with a community-centred approach.
