SUMMARY:The Lodge - Film by ICCT member Terril Calder
DESCRIPTION:http://imaginenative.org/home/node/3458 \n\n\nWorld Premiere\n\n\n\n\n\nIn her feature-length debut\, acclaimed filmmaker and animator Terril Calder (Metis) presents a surreal fairytale recalling equal parts Goldilocks and the Three Bears and the traditional Anishnaabe legend of the Dandelion. In The Lodge\, we follow Pearl Bailey\, a British war bride who has come to live in the Canadian wilderness with her Métis husband. Pearl self-righteously positions herself as superior to the “animals” she now finds herself surrounded by – a “Queen” in a “savage land.” The Manitous\, on the other hand\, have a plan of their own and her fate falls into their hands. Rendered in stunning stop-motion animation\, The Lodgeinterrogates colonial concepts of savagery\, critiques the de-humanizing of Indigenous peoples and explores the powerful medicine of our animal relations. \nThe Lodge \n\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: Terril Calder\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTerril Calder (Metis) is a visual and performance artist\, filmmaker and animator born in Fort Frances and currently residing in Toronto. She has lectured and taught art through the years with various organizations that include the National Ballet School of Canada\, the University of Manitoba\, Indigenous Roots and imagineNATIVE’s Cultural Exchange Program with South Africa. Her films have screened internationally\, having received an Honorable Mention at the Sundance Film Festival and a Canadian Genie Award Nomination\, as well as TIFF’s Top Ten List in 2011 for Choke\, a short she co-created with Michelle Latimer. Terril is also a participant in this year’s Storytelling Screenings\, paired with author Joseph Boyden on a special multimedia presentation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet your tickets here:\nhttps://tytix.tiff.net/scripts/max/10.17.40.32-44000/maxweb.exe?ACTION=ORDER

SUMMARY:Storytellers Screening at TIFF Lightbox featuring Terril Calder
DESCRIPTION:STORYTELLERS SCREENING\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSATURDAY\, OCTOBER 25 3:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTIFF BELL LIGHTBOX\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREITMAN SQUARE\, 350 KING STREET WEST(NORTH SIDE OF KING STREET\, EAST OF SPADINA)\nM5V3X5 TORONTO\, ON \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCINEMA 1\n\n\nPRESENTER: RBC\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExperience cinema-based storytelling in a new way at this remarkable\, not-to-be missed presentation. In celebration of imagineNATIVE’s 15th anniversary\, two pairs of artists – each comprising one author and one filmmaker – collaborated to create a “storyteller screening”: a screen-based video work that accompanies a live reading. For each of the two presentations\, the author will read a new short story written especially for this event as the filmmaker’s new video work plays simultaneously\, creating a multimedia performance that transcends the screen and stage. \nLegendary author\, artist and activist Maria Campbell shares a new short story created in collaboration with Shane Belcourt\, one of the leading filmmakers in Canadian Indigenous cinema. Their counterparts are Joseph Boyden\, one of Canada’s true literary stars\, who presents a new work with Terril Calder\, a master of animation. Together these artists – each from a Métis or mixed culture – combine craft\, transcend media and explore new territory to tell a story unlike any other. \nThis special presentation includes an in-depth panel discussion with the artists immediately following the stories\, hosted by Connie Walker\, reporter and producer for the CBC. \nOut of respect for the nature and spirit of these live performances\, we kindly require that all audience members be seated and stay seated for the duration of each performance. Once each performance begins\, latecomers will not be seated until an appropriate interval. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment. If you need to leave once seated\, please leave only after each performance is completed. Each performance is approximately 15 minutes in length \n\n\n\n\nFeaturing:\n\n\n\nAPIKIWIYAK\n\n\nDirected by:\n\nShane Belcourt\nMaria Campbell\n\n\n\n\n\nViolence against Indigenous women is something we’d all like to sweep under the rug … both in mainstream Canadian society and within Indigenous families ourselves. It’s occurred for hundreds of years and is now ever present\, and it is brutal and disgusting. Maria Campbell\, an acclaimed Métis author from Saskatchewan\, knows much about this sad reality in our communities. In this work\, she sets out to hold a mirror out for Indigenous people\, and for non-Indigenous people to peer into the never-ending legacy of colonial violence. In collaboration with Shane Belcourt\, the video component is a series of heartbreaking vignettes\, all wrapped around the imagery of a woman in ceremony looking for hope and calling for the ancestors to help us all get back on the good road. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSNIP\n\n\nDirected by:\n\nTerril Calder\nJoseph Boyden\n\n\n\n\n\nAn exciting reinterpretation of Joseph Boyden’s ballet debut\, Going Home Star – Truth and Reconciliation\, this animated 3D visual exploration reclaims history\, literally cutting it out of past ideologies and history confined between oral and written methods of storytelling. Through following young protagonists Charlie and Niska\, two children caught in the residential school system\, this work frees them from their confines into an organic living truth into the cinema.
