WESTPORT–StoryFest, The Westport Library’s annual literary festival will celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day with an exclusive book launch for We Survived the Night, the highly anticipated debut memoir by author and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Julian Brave NoiseCat — one day in advance of the book’s official nationwide release.
NoiseCat will be joined by Ramin Ganeshram, executive director of the Westport Museum for History and Culture, for a conversation on Monday, October 13 in the Library’s Trefz Forum at 7 pm.
NoiseCat’s career defies creative boundaries. His work closely aligns with StoryFest — a celebration of storytelling across all types of media.
NoiseCat’s journalism has appeared in dozens of publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The New Yorker, and has been recognized with many awards including the 2022 American Mosaic Journalism Prize. In 2021, NoiseCat was named to the TIME100 Next list of emerging leaders.
He also is a critically acclaimed filmmaker who was nominated for an Academy Award for “Sugarcane,” directed alongside Emily Kassie, which follows an investigation into abuse and missing children at the Indian residential school NoiseCat’s family was sent to near Williams Lake, British Columbia.
Tickets for the event are $30 and include a copy of “We Survived the Night.” It is the same price for one seat and a copy of the book or two seats and a book. Books will also be available for purchase at the event and a signing will follow the talk.
