Wilfred Buck's Star Stories

World Premiere: Berlinale 2025 / Forum Expanded

Designed for presentation in domes and planetariums, this 21-minute XR work brings to life four star stories, gathered and told by renowned Ininew (Cree) astronomer/star knowledge expert and author Wilfred Buck. From the practical to the poetic, these "tellings" of the Northern night sky provide guidance on navigation, the earth’s cycles, and how to live a good life with future generations in mind. WILFRED BUCK'S STAR STORIES offers a rarely heard perspective on astronomy and cosmology in an immersive and intimate environment for participants. Marvel at immersive night sky cinematography, cosmos CGI, and beautiful macro cinematography of meteorites set to a transporting soundtrack in this expansive yet intimate experience that combines the wonder of the universe with the warmth of listening to a wise Elder whose teachings can help us understand that the stars are in fact our oldest relatives.
