This depressed white soldier profits monetarily by the continuation of the war, and therefore ensures the battle endures through his power over the water and news. Inadvertently, he causes all the soldiers on both sides to perish, and thus the war ends. He then, through his media control, presents himself as the hero of the conflict and the savior of the United States.

  • The Snowball Treasury

    Every city has a story. Dawson City, in Canada’s Yukon, is a place with many. From being the largest city in the Canadian north during the height of the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 1800s, to its present day state as a quiet town, modestly populated by under 1500 inhabitants, Dawson City has been the site of many adventures both big and small. The Snowball Treasury explores this unique city and its rich history through a collection of colourful anecdotes told by local residents: tales of resilience and riches, the call of the wild, ghosts and gumption.

  • Masters of Rhythm the Afro-Peruvian Way

    “…a rare and delightful glimpse….capture(s) the artistry, love and philosophy….” (John Santos, percussionist, seven times Grammy nominee) Masters of Rhythm, of filmmaker Eve A. Ma, has screened in five countries on three continents, and won awards in the USA and Germany.

  • H2T

    Shot on several types of film (16 mm and Super 8 format), ranging from handmade film emulsion to expired films, H2T takes place in the mighty Hotel2Tango Montreal recording studio. The film is a chemical composition where light meets the effervescence and creativity of the band Land of Kush (Constellation Records) during the making of their latest album, The Big Mango (2013). Filming of the recording session during rehearsals and breaks, the picture is just as ephemeral as the musicians’ movements. H2T reflects on the performative aspect specific to experimental film and musical performance.

  • forwards, backward

    Compiled from unused images of a half-shot and perpetually delayed documentary, this film is an illusory visual and sonic reflection on a stagnant film career. Simultaneously moving forwards and backwards and not at all. Driving 100mph and standing still. One step forwards, two steps back.
