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. voicesofvr.com/1050-embeddinโ€ฆ

A glowing review for THIS IS NOT A CEREMONY from @HertzBarry and @globeandmail! See it now on the New Frontier's Spaceship at @sundancefest with the Explorer Pass - festival.sundance.org/ticketโ€ฆ

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/filโ€ฆ
