SELECTIVE MEMORY
Change was inevitable but storytelling is eternal. Nostalgia has its place and a post-COVID society will need it more than ever. Selective Memory is a multi-media, experimental documentary project that explores vinyl records as modern hieroglyph: a tangible document of black history, black music and black culture. From the genius mind of creator Todd Simmons. Exploration made possible by Canada Council for the Arts. The attached is a rough early cut of instalment one of our short web series for the project.
Own Kind Of Beautiful
OWN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL is a moving documentary that centers the artistry of Frank Hull—a Mi’kmaq, gay, bipolar, and physically disabled dance artist who has spent over 25 years creating and performing in a powered wheelchair. With all the profound vulnerability and wisdom his lived experiences and intersectional identities have imbued, Frank (in this film and in life) challenges conventional notions of movement, beauty, and ability. Be.Yond is Sarah Jone's proof of concept for the soon to be released documentary.
