Sitka (Olga Zikrata | Manitoba) – 5 mins, video, 2009 Manitoba Premiere Sitka (“net” in Ukrainian) is composed of threads and ruptures into the folds of memory, love and loss. Body, skin, touch, movement, man and woman, mother and son, memories are awash in a haptic eroticism of film grain. With use of overexposure, vaseline, hand-processing and flashes of light, this film asks for close, haptic viewing. DISTRIBUTION: WFG | distribution@winnipegfilmgroup.com |

Revival (Heidi Phillips | Manitoba) – 8 mins, video, 2009 Regional Premiere Words half-heard, momentary silences, sounds of technology and rhythmic repetition create a hypnotic, entrancing soundscape to echo extensively hand processed found film footage. Viewers look up at the hovering body of helicopter that is by turns a vehicle for redemptive rescue or a harbinger of something ominous. Revival is a spiritual search that gives us an inkling of our ultimate destination. DISTRIBUTION: hjp1979@gmail.com |
