I’m thrilled to announce that my film lessons on flight (2024) has been selected for screening at Spain’s S8: Muestra de Cinema Periférico, which takes place in the city of A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, June 3-7, 2025.
lessons on flight will screen as part of the Latin American focused program Sinais Latinoamérica.
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.
