Just like the last one, but with different films, different experiences and different tips. We'll be showing five short films (including one produced through the Canadian Film Centre) followed by a panel discussion with the filmmakers/ critics about short filmmaking. Anything and everything from ideas to festivals to shooting to editing. Essentially, if you want to learn more about short filmmaking, network with other filmmakers or get some inspiration for your next project, then you won't want to miss this!
Here's a list of the films we'll be showing:
1. When Are You Coming Home? (dirs. Patricia Connolly and Linda Feesey, 2mins), filmmakers in attendance.
A day in the life of a cat: what happens when you leave the house?
2. Prelude to a Marriage (Dir. Alex Lisman, 5mins)
Kathryn and Shawn are getting married. "Prelude to a Marriage" follows this unique, quirky and political couple on a day of shopping for wedding essentials and takes a closer look at their love, lives and views on the world around them.
3. Eglinton Ave (Dirs. Sarah Hennessey, Adam Jackson, and Mike Sykora, 3mins), filmmakers in attendance
A black comedy shot from the perspective of a stalker.
4. The Bather (Dir. Cameron Esler, 6mins), possible filmmaker attendance
The Bather is a cine-poem that explores the _expression of desire in public and private spaces. It has been screened at festivals worldwide.
5. In Shadow (Dir. Shirley Cheechoo, 22mins), writer Julia Chan in attendance.
In Shadow was produced through The Canadian Film Centre's Short Dramatic Film Programme, and was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival in 2004. It was also awarded Best Short Screenplay at the International Cherokee Film Festival in 2005.
Rebecca, an up and coming artist, works hard to build a future for herself while living with her disturbed sister Lydia, a prostitute. Lydia's presence, a constant reminder of the dark shadows from her past, pushes Rebecca closer and closer to the brink of madness. Shirley Cheechoo uses haunting flahsbacks and powerful imagery to portray the main character's warped reality culminating in a surprising twist in the end.
