Our TIFF coverage continues with two horror-inflected films centring indigenous characters, using hauntings as a method of exploring generational and personal trauma. In Bretten Hannam's At the Place of Ghosts (Sk+te'kmujue'katik), two estranged Mi’kmaw brothers journey into the Canadian woods to avenge spirits that haunt them from their childhood. Meanwhile, Taratoa Stappard's Mārama, follows a Māori woman who travels from freshly colonised New Zealand to a creepily gothic English manor in the Yorkshire moors to uncover secrets about her family's past.
