Hey, Viktor!
Lightning – who appeared as young Victor Joseph in Chris Eyre’s groundbreaking 1998 feature SMOKE SIGNALS, a film that completely revolutionized Indigenous representation onscreen – is playing a fictionalized version of himself in HEY, VIKTOR!, which he also co-wrote. In this mockumentary re-telling, Lightning is grappling with his own dwindling celebrity as he moves back to his reservation in northern Alberta, and the only gigs he can get are in fracking commercials that play off his Indigenous identity, or porn. After his wife and kids ditch him for a younger, more successful actor, Lightning is motivated to make the movie he has always wanted to make, “Smoke Signals 2: Still Smoking.” Enter the “documentary film crew,” an onslaught of hilarious (and occasionally raunchy) hi-jinks, nostalgic appearances from the original film’s co-stars, and a refreshingly thoughtful character progression that poignantly drives the story into an unexpectedly meaningful depth. With Simon R. Baker, Adam Beach, Hannah Cheesman, Gary Farmer, Irene Bedard, Colin Mochrie,
