I’m thrilled to announce that my film lessons on flight (2024) has been selected for screening for the Athens International Film + Video Festival, taking place in Athens, Ohio, April 7-13, 2025.
lessons on flight screens open opening night, Mon Apr 7 at 5 PM at the Athena Cinema as part of the “The Birds + the Bees” short 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.
