TESL A WORLD LIGHT
MATTHEW RANKIN | QU BEC | 2017 | 8 M
New York, 1905. Visionary inventor Nikola Tesla makes one last appeal to J.P. Morgan, his onetime
benefactor. Inspired by real events, this electrifying short is a spectacular burst of image and sound
that draws as much from the tradition of avant-garde cinema as it does from animated documentary.

archive-inspired cinema that recast the past, present and future of Inuit in a radiant new light.

ECHOES IN THE ICE

TRIGGER WARNING
SCOTT FITZPATRICK | MANITOBA | 2017 | 5 M
An examination of everyday household objects based on a list published in the December, 2016
issue of Harper’s Magazine shot on a camera (shaped like a gun).
SHADOW NETTES
PHILLIP BARKER | ONTARIO | 2017 | 17 M
The Shadow Nette is a traditional fishing device that projects the silhouette of the fisherman. The
“fishr” assumes archetypal (and secret) poses of virility that display their strength and ability. This
lyrical and beautifully shot film creatively plays off this idea.
