Documentary - CDN 2025 - 97' - OmeU

Director: Peter Scriver, Seth Scriver

An animated documentary by Canadian Seth Scriver and his Indigenous half-brother Peter. Surreal characters with cookie heads and platypus noses bring to life anecdotes from the pair's past that deal with systemic racism against Native peoples. Peter's infectious laughter and narration humanize the trauma while honoring the cultural heritage of his community. Awarded at both the Annecy Animation Festival and the Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 9-16, 2025 and always online.

*Editorial Note: As the Rausgegangen team, we take a long-term view of the debate and criticism surrounding FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE. We take this debate very seriously. For us, the following is fundamentally clear: We reject any form of toxic behavior in the workplace and actively position ourselves against it. But what we do: We recommend content. We stand behind the filmmakers, the artists and the works. Regardless of politics, we want to recommend films and give you the opportunity to get to know the festival and its program. That's why you'll find the FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE content on our website.
