Shorts & Feature Programme + Q&A
Reel Women Seen
Amanda Tapping, BC, 8 mins
This bitingly funny short film is one part sketch comedy, one part public service announcement, and speaks to the disastrously low number of women in the film industry.
Owning the Space
Laura P. Jaramillo, BC, 8 mins
World Premiere
Women who have been closely involved in making change within the film industry speak to their experience as writers, actors, directors, and policy-makers.
Handmade Film
Christina Ienna, Ontario, 5 mins
Experimental/documentary filmmaker Lindsay McIntyre engages with the historical methods of early filmmaking and the tactile beginnings of the filmic medium, as she crafts her own, handmade film. Risk, chance, and magic are all key elements in what McIntyre describes as a "collaboration" between herself and the film emulsion.
The Women Who Run Hollywood
Julia Kuperberg, Clara Kuperberg, France, 52 mins
Canadian Premiere
Ally Acker, Paula Wagner, and Robin Swicord are among the immensely talented and successful women featured in this essential documentary, which forefronts the prolific contributions made to the film industry by women who were known for their focus, talent, and tenacity.
I Am Rebecca
Eve Doherty, Kate McCaslin, UK, 33 mins
Canadian Premiere
Rebecca Mabior is a refugee from Sudan, now living in the American Midwest, who has built an extraordinary life in her new home. We follow her to the 2016 Women’s March in Washington, D.C.,as she searches for equality in today’s political landscape.
Shorts programme followed by Q&A.
