Luk'Luk'I (pronounced "lucklucky") is a Canadian drama film, which premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. The feature directorial debut of Wayne Wapeemukwa, the film is an expansion of his earlier short film Luk'Luk'I: Mother, which premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
Set in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympics, the film centres on five residents of the poverty-stricken neighbourhood. The cast includes Angel Gates, Joe Buffalo, Ken Harrower, Eric Buurman and Angela Dawson. The actors participated directly in writing the screenplay, using their own real-life experiences – including Harrower's experience as a gay man with a disability and Dawson's experience as local underground culture figure "Rollergirl" – to inform and create their characters' storylines.
The film's title refers to the Coast Salish name for the Downtown Eastside.
