Wînipêk

As fall settles in, I’ve been reflecting on my film Wînipêk, which was selected to be a part of the ImagineNative film fest in the shorts program “Tied To The Land”. The screening was this past June at the Lightbox cinema in Toronto.

This film is very much transitional for me; experimental and narrative forms blending and working seamlessly together

Many thanks to my collaborator Thilo Schaller for your sound recordings and sound direction, it was so instrumental in how this film came together.

And thanks to Keara Barrett for working with me, your performance is amazing.

New Work

Newlight ~ 2023

Preview of new work: Decolonizing the analog medium through a digital space: Not by narrative or subject, but through reconstruction.

Yellow, cyan and magenta wash over the digital flow to create the idea of a film negative, windows become the perforations, and the vertical movement indicates film threaded through the light of a projector. Low hum vibrations echo the sounds of the mechanical device.

Inspired by Stan Brakhage “Mothlight” with the idea of grief as motivation, and giving life through new processes.
