Endless Cookie
(Cookie à l'infini)
A mischievous animated family portrait that entertains with a humorous look at the commotion in an Indigenous household, while also exposing Canada and its social inequalities.
Canadian filmmaker Seth returns to his extended family and his half-brother Pete, who lives on the Shamattawa reservation. The film is a meta-animated spectacle that plays with its own creation and the fact that the project did not receive a grant. Even through these moments, it critically demonstrates the systematic persecution of Indigenous people—from police and prison racism to environmental injustices, social exclusion, and limited access to basic services. Despite the weight of the themes, the film’s primary domain is humour, self-irony, and a gently absurd perspective. Everyday situations, such as building a teepee, shopping, or butchering meat, become episodes in an endless family narrative where one story flows seamlessly into the next. The result is a playful, multi-layered chronicle of one family and two cultures.
