Winnipeg Film Group: Found In Translation Tour:
(Being) Women in Canada
The Winnipeg Film Group’s Distribution Department has hundreds of amazing (funny, poignant, thoughtful, quirky) independent short films in our collection and we wanted to share them with a broader audience. Some of these uniquely Canadian stories were largely inaccessible to French audiences here in Canada and around the world. With a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts we were able to translate and subtitle over 30 titles. This is the first part of a four-program series of the Winnipeg Film Group Distribution project Found in Translation / Traduction Fidèle, which will be presented for free at the Cinematheque over the next four months.
This program is being presented in collaboration with Alliance Francaise in conjunction with their Festival of French Cinema. recognizes and celebrates films from the Winnipeg Film Group’s history that are directed by women. Featuring work by Jessie Short, Danielle Sturk, Tricia Wasney, Shawna Dempsey, Tracy Traeger, Lorri Millan, Erica Eyres, Eve Majzels, Michelle Elrick, Caroline Monnet, Amanda Strong, Leslie Supnet, and Rhayne Vermette.
