Hidden Island
Series celebrates diverse voices and local directors
The PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation has launched season four of Hidden Island, continuing its celebration of diverse storytellers from communities across the province. The season runs from October to March, with a new episode each month.
The first episode, Sukwi’sim (Auntie’s Place), is now available at islanddigitalvoices.ca. Each video explores a unique part of the Island and features local directors such as Omar Broderick, Eric Cerisano, Heather Harris, Walker MacDonald, Judith Mendiolea, and Hanna Wylie.
“It’s been rewarding to watch this series evolve over the years and to have the creative flexibility to push season 4 even further into new territory,” says Daniel Brown, series producer. “Whether it’s the history of a community dinner theatre, a deep dive into a local monster legend, or the personal story of a local, my hope is that Hidden Island becomes a place for all Islanders. We are always open to story pitches.”
Hidden Island launched in 2021 as Island Digital Voices. It is a Government of PEI initiative, led by the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation, to share stories about Islanders and Island life—and to support new local storytellers.
