Siblings Mise’l and Antle, close confidants as children, have drifted apart as adults. When a malevolent spirit begins tormenting them, the siblings are forced to reunite and journey into Sk+te'kmujue'katik (the Place of Ghosts), a primordial forest that exists outside of time, to confront their violent upbringing. At the Place of Ghosts (Sk+te'kmujue'katik) (2025) is a visceral supernatural thriller, elevated by the deeply personal work of Two-Spirit, L'nu filmmaker Bretten Hannam from Kespukwitk, L'nuekati (Nova Scotia), whose films deal with themes of community, culture, and language with a focus on Two-Spirit and LGBTQ+ identity. Featuring actors Forest Goodluck, Blake Alec Miranda, and Glenn Gould, the film won the Gordon Parsons Award for the Best Atlantic Canadian Feature at the 2025 Atlantic International Film Festival.
