Amanda Strong’s ‘Inkwo for When the Starving Return’ Screening at Sundance
It has been announced that Métis Creator Amanda Strong’s ‘Inkwo for When the Starving Return’ will screen at the Sundance Film Festival.

Amanda Strong’s Spotted Fawn Productions/National Film Board of Canada (NFB) stop-motion animated short Inkwo for When the Starving Return will continue its festival run in the new year in the Short Film Program of the Sundance Film Festival.
A world-renowned showcase for U.S. and international independent films, the 2025 edition of the Sundance Festival will take place from January 23rd to February 2nd.
Inkwo for When the Starving Return is an animated adaptation of the short story Wheetago War by award-winning Tlicho Dene storyteller Richard Van Camp, published in his collection Night Moves. Wheetago War was inspired by Art Napoleon’s interview with his late grandmother Suzette Napoleon, published in Bushland Spirit: Our Elders Speak.
These screenings mark the return of Strong to Sundance, where she’d taken part in the Sundance Institute Native Filmmakers Lab in 2020.
Inkwo features the voice talents of Paulina Alexis (Critics Choice Award winner), Tantoo Cardinal (Order of Canada) and versatile television producer, actor and storyteller Art Napoleon.
