A Cinematoba / NSI short film project, 2023

by Hilary McDonald and Kristy Janvier

An Indigenous contemporary dancer expresses an idea to change one's understanding of rock in the northern Canadian landscape to one beyond resource extraction.

This project represents the third collaboration between artists Hilary McDonald and Kristy Janvier working in their hometown. Both artists have lived and worked globally and returned to their homes in northern Manitoba at the start of 2020.

Their work finds common ground in the nuances of living (and benefitting) in a beautiful landscape made rich by resource extraction and, in turn, asks if projects examining this abundance can be abstract and poetic.

Hilary, the filmmaker, asks:

Can a film portraying a resource environment ‘look’ different?

Must it employ the same tropes?

Or can it be painterly and soft, can its message be nuanced, not point fingers, and can it be personified and address something deeper?

Kristy shows us the answer.

Acknowledge, leave an offering, and believe.
