I’m thrilled to announce that my film lessons on flight (2024) has been selected for screening for Dawson City International Short Film Festival, taking place in Dawson City, Canada, April 17-20, 2025.
lessons on flight screens Friday, April 18 at 8:30 PM as part of the “Up River” shorts program.
Shot on B&W 16 mm film, eco-processed with olives and hand coloured on site in rural Chile, lessons on flight examines the flight patterns of the green-backed firecrown hummingbird.
Special thanks to Franci Duran, Elian Mikkola, Chad Tremblay, the Araneda Espinoza family and the Canada Council for the Arts for making this film possible.
In memory of María Laurina Espinoza Hernández, who planted the gardens the hummingbirds feed on, and who wished for this place to never be forgotten.
