Wînipêk Gallery Exhibition

A few years back I was walking with my mother through the Winnipeg Art Gallery, looking at the art, excited to be there and be there together…when she stopped, raised her arms up towards the wall and dramatically said- 

“And here it is Jamie…this is where your art will hang!  I know your art will be in this gallery one day!”

Unwavering support, and her genuine smile, even when I would respond “Probably not mom”.

She’s not here anymore…and it’s a moment like this I wish I could share with her…She would be so proud knowing my film work is a part of the current exhibition at the WAG.

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.

Film Shoot

So grateful for this weekend and the team I got to work with, flexing my skills as the director. We spent a full day working together, filming and setting up throughout downtown Winnipeg, capturing some great moments and finding our groove as a film crew. We finished on schedule and we are stoked to see this project come to life.
