Songs of Kamui Film Screening and Producer Q&A

2026 Dreamspeakers International Indigenous Film Festival: Songs of Kamui Film Screening and Producer Q&A

About the film:
More than anything, brilliant Teru longs to attend school with other girls. But in early 20th-century Japan, Teru is excluded, because she is Ainu. Instead of writing, the Ainu—an indigenous people from Japan’s Hokkaido island—pass down their traditions through yukar (oral poems). When Teru meets a Tokyo professor who has devoted his life to decoding yukar, Teru discovers a chance not only to prove her brilliance but to rewrite the fate of the Ainu. Based on a true story.
