  • Outside The Ring

    Through the lens of a unique violence recovery program in Toronto, this documentary provides a glimpse into the lives of women and transgendered survivors of violence and the impact Boxing has had in their healing. The film follows the ways in which participants challenge social constructs that dictate that women must not experience their own feelings of aggression. The Toronto Newsgirls Boxing Club is the first all-women’s boxing club in North America.

  • The Diver

    The video captures the powerful moment before we take action, when mystery, fear, and impending commitment tug on our consciousness. A young woman is alone at an idyllic spot, bowed over and poised to dive into the calm turquoise water below. She is stuck when deciding whether she should leap into the pool or just walk away. The familiar feminine dance unfurls as she counts, staying at the edge of a decision. As she counts, her body and voice are overcome by waves of physical and psychological trembles. Time and space are revealed as narrow constructions of the mind, ruling…

  • Weaving with Spanish Threads: an Immigrant’s Tale

    In the early 20th century, tens of thousands of Spaniards were driven from their homeland by poverty. Several thousand went to Hawaii to work under contract in the pineapple and sugar cane plantations, and most of these settled permanently in California after their contract were up. Our documentary tells their story, a story reminiscent of that of many other immigrant groups from Europe. We focus on one specific immigrant, Francisco Pérez, 98 years old when we interviewed him. His interview is supplemented by interviews with descendants of other of the immigrants and by on-location footage from Spain, Gibraltar, Hawaii and…

  • Doom

    Doom is a slapstick caper of a kidnapping turned on its head; a farcical take on Stockholm Syndrome. A group of businessmen and bankers are corralled from the streets of their work for the purpose of detention, observation and ultimate indoctrination by a group of unlikely bandits. Their captivity initially frightens them but through the treatment by their strange yet benevolent captors, the men quickly view their corporate transgressions with disdain as they reject the freedom they are eventually offered.

  • National Tapestry

    Created as a silent, large-scale installation for public spaces, National Tapestry draws our focus to the weft and the warp of the woven image. The materiality of a distressed patriotic symbol echoes the struggles and ambitions of a culture, land and history that are both loved and despised by many. This is Steven Woloshen’s first film exploring ethnology and politics in film.
