Western Brook Pond to premiere in Beijing

I’m thrilled my film Western Brook Pond (2025) will premiere at the Beijing International Short Film Festival, Nov 8-16, 2025.

Western Brook Pond will screen as part of the SIPHON Experimental Film Container series, program 3, Wed Nov 12 at 6:30 pm at the Hey Town Art Centre in Beijing.

The festival’s SIPHON series is dedicated to works that embrace risk, experimentation and the unknown.

TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEGEMENT

I am grateful for the opportunity to live and work on Treaty 1 territory, the ancestral territory of the Anishinaabe, Ininew, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Red River Métis.

My origins are from Abya Yala, a term originating from the Guna people from the Darien Gap region that is widely used by Indigenous communities to describe the greater American continent. Use of the term contributes to a movement to decolonize, resist and replace colonial names like "America" (a term widely used by Latinx people to refer to all of the Americas) and "Latin America."
