Winner of the Contrechamp Grand Prix at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Seth and Peter Scriver’s freewheeling animated documentary follows Peter—an artist and storyteller from the Shamattawa First Nation—through a series of shaggy dog tales about growing up with his white half‑brother Seth in 1980s Toronto, and later raising his own children in the remote north. There are chicken heists, Sasquatch sightings, trapping mishaps, and children’s chaotic adventures—woven together with accounts of police profiling, land grabs, and the haunting legacy of residential schools. Peter’s storytelling is mirrored in the film’s loose, surreal cartooning, where wry humor sharpens into satire to evoke the long shadow of life under Canada’s First Nations policies. At once personal and political, comedic and fraught, the film offers a disarmingly profound portrait of race, identity, and the complex bonds of family. 

Plus, a pre-show of classic Canadian animation precedes the film at 6:30 pm.

It is a picture infused with love — both for family, and for the creative act (the film took nearly a decade to complete). It is also a generous invitation into the heart of a sprawling extended family.
Wendy Ide, Screen International

Endless Cookie may be the strangest, most seemingly nonsensical documentary in some time. But there’s one truth to a whackadoodle odyssey like this one: you will definitely have a story to tell afterwards.
Pat Mullen, POV magazine

What presents itself outwardly as a freewheeling, surreally animated selection of anecdotes, stories, and observations is able to speak eloquently about the indigenous experience, both in big Canadian cities and on rural reservations.
Andrew Parker, The Gate
