Clouds of Autumn

About This Movie

Clouds of Autumn is an evocative piece that really immerses you in the tensions of childhood innocence and loss. The film follows an Indigenous brother and sister, and it’s honestly heart-wrenching to see their carefree days slip away as the sister is taken to a Residential School. The atmosphere is heavy, yet there's a lingering sense of hope amidst the despair. Pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of silence to settle, which adds weight to their separation. Performances are raw and authentic—especially the kids, who carry the emotional heft of the story. It’s not flashy, but the grounded storytelling and practical effects lend a sense of realism that stays with you long after viewing.
