Screening: ENDLESS COOKIE

Endless Cookie is a new full-length animation from Seth & Pete Scriver – though to be fair, they have been painstakingly assembling it for the last 8 years.

The film plays out like a particularly tangential fever dream – a colorful depiction of the many overlapping episodes of the brothers’ lives – from their upbringing in Downtown Toronto’s Kensington Market to Pete’s current residence in an isolated Northern Manitoba First Nation community. As they reminisce, their yarns are often punctuated, interrupted or else hijacked by the charismatic members of their family who indulge in their own reveries. Endless Cookie is at heart an impressionistic and often surreal depiction of family but it is also a documentary of the creative process.

Pete and Seth are half brothers. Pete is a first nations carver, poet, mechanic and storyteller living in Shamattawa. He was recently nominated for a Hero award for saving his neighbors life by rescuing her from a house on fire. Seth is an artist, animator and carpenter living in Toronto. He won the Best Canadian First Feature at TIFF in 2013 for his animated feature “Asphalt Watches” that he created with Shayne Ehman.
