A new version of Christopher Auchter’s film Now is the Time (Waaydanaa), has been released in the Haida language

A new version of Haida documentarian Christopher Auchter’s film Now is the Time , has been released in the Haida language. “It was a long process, and it is like you are repainting a painting. The Haida language acts differently than English in how you describe something,” he said.

“My filmmaking is a way for me to contribute to my culture and to try to tell our stories and tell them well,” he said. However, the project ended up becoming much larger than Hart expected. Since a lot of Elders do not speak Haida, Hart wanted to make sure the translation was accurate. He asked his grandmother for help and other community members who continue to speak the language.
