ROSIE: A Film Screening and Conversation
June 8, 2023 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm MDT
MacEwan Library and kihêw waciston, in collaboration with the Centre for Sexual and Gender Diversity and Nursing’s Bear Healing Lodge, welcome ALL to a free screening and discussion of ROSIE.
A feature film debut by Métis writer-director-actor, Gail Maurice, ROSIE tells the story of a young, orphaned, Indigenous girl forced to live with her reluctant, street-smart Aunty Fred (Frédérique). ROSIE is an unconventional love story. A drama with poignant and comedic moments, this film is about the resilience of a child and the beauty of love and acceptance. It’s about alienation, identity, and the revelation that we are all capable of love. It’s a story about fringe dwellers, society’s “throwaways,” struggling to survive against all odds. It’s about finding your chosen family and seeking “treasures” in trash.
Honoured by imagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival, and named by TIFF as a Canada Top Ten pick in 2022, ROSIE is not a film to miss!
Bannock and tea will be served, and a community-guided conversation will follow the screening.

A Pride Unlike Any Other Event Listing & Graphics Disclaimer PrideEdmonton.ca is a free, unfunded, volunteer-run community listing platform. We do not generate revenue from our services and do not receive funding or grants from community or government sources. All events and accompanying graphics are submitted by independent organizers. Many organizers operate with little or no budget and may use a variety of tools—including AI-assisted design—to create their materials. PrideEdmonton.ca does not create, edit, review, or regulate submitted graphics, nor do we assess how they are produced. Our focus is on ensuring broad visibility of the many Pride events happening across the region. Showcasing this diversity of programming helps build awareness, strengthen community connection, and foster greater understanding and acceptance. Responsibility for all submitted content rests solely with the event organizers. |
