Through the power of #VR, Ahnahktsipiitaa (Colin Van Loon) transcends the lenses of traditional media to take us to a place where colonial rules and assumptions are forgotten.

I interviewed the Indigenous creators Ahnahktsipiitaa (Colin Van Loon) & James Monkman about the cinematic VR piece THIS IS NOT A CEREMONY, which visually embeds notions of relationality & encourages the practice of bearing witness to Indigenous trauma.

The one film that truly knocked me out at #Sundance? That would be @thenfb's THIS IS NOT A CEREMONY by Ahnahktsipiitaa's (Colin Van Loon), which will make any VR skeptic a true believer. theglobeandmail.com/arts/filโฆ

Last chance today and tomorrow to see Seances by Guy Maddin at @BerlinArtWeek.
9 Sep 2021
Guy Maddin, Seances. This film will disappear Friday, 17. Sept. at the Berlin Art Week.
A one time only screening at the @BerlinArtWeek Directors Lounge at the Schokoladen. Thanks to @thenfb. directorslounge.net/directorโฆ
ALT Guy Maddin's Seances will be screened during the art (not art) Directors Lounge party at the Schokoladen. Friday, 17. Sept. Seances is a project by filmmaker and installation artist Guy Maddin, co-created by brothers Evan and Galen Johnson, that combines Maddinโs reenactments of lost films with an algorithm that dynamically assembles these films into configurations that can never be repeated. Each film exists only in the moment moment it is shown, with no way to pause, delete, or share it. The audience has only one chance to see this film before it disappears. By special arrangement with the National Film Board of Canada.
