A special screening of “Changer: A Hand Telling,” will take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 8, at Vashon Theatre.

Filmed on Lower Elwha S’klallam Tribe land, the film is a timeless, cross-cultural storytelling event bridging Native myths and Deaf culture.

“Changer” — a visually stunning and emotionally resonant film that reimagines storytelling through movement, myth and memory — uses deaf actors and blends Indigenous traditions with contemporary performance. The simple and yet evocative image of a hand guides audiences through a joinery of transformation and resilience.

After the screening, filmmakers Roger Fernandes (S’klallam) and Fern Renville (Dakota), as well as the film’s producer, will be on hand to answer questions and discuss the film.

The Vashon screening is co-sponsored by the Backbone Campaign, Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust, Vashon Heritage Museum, Vashon Theatre, Island GreenTech and the Meaningful Movies Project.

Admission is by optional donation, with all contributions supporting the filmmakers’ travel and their next project.
