Endless Cookie

This event has passed

The less you know about Endless Cookie beforehand, the better you will be prepared.

Seriously.

Still, you probably want to know what it’s about, even if that question is not so easy to answer and it’s ultimately besides the point? Let’s say it’s about getting caught in your own hunting trap out in subzero temperatures. And that time a snow owl took a shine to your buddy and stayed perched on his arm even as he went and bought his groceries. It’s about half siblings sharing stories, living in a house with a dozen dogs, building a sweat lodge in the backyard, eating caribou candy, ludicrous RCMP raids, shuttling from Shamattawa, Manitoba to Toronto, portals to other worlds… But mostly it’s about interruptions, digressions, diversions, and those days when you could order up pizza for free.

Also it’s animated. But you probably saw that already.

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.
