Une Colonie follows the story of twelve-year-old Mylia, who upon entering her first year of high school begins to find her own path as she shrugs off her adoring little sister for the chance to attend her first party. As she navigates family tension, the lack of adolescent consent, the realities of colonization and the notion of conforming, Mylia befriends a boy living on the neighbouring Odanak reserve who helps her see the beauty in colouring outside the lines. Une Colonie is directed by Quebecois filmmaker Geneviève Dulude-De Celles. It is her first feature film and has won several awards including a Silver Bear for Best Film at The Berlin International Film Festival, as well as Best Motion Picture and Best Performance for all three young leading actors at this year’s Canadian Screen Awards.
