ShortI+N CONNEXE

Synopsis

In a city where victims of colonial history and dominant narratives intersect, a voice begins to examine the erasure of women and minorities. Between “win,” « nip », and « egg », she plays with words and identities, scrutinizing the violence of bodies and discourse—a fragile and political visual gesture.

Filmmaker Bio

Trained in film and linguistics, she adopts a DIY approach, combining humor, poetry, and subversion. Since 1999, her work has been shown at various festivals and galleries around the world (I+N, FIFA, Pink Screens, Les instants vidéos, Mix Festival, etc.)

It follows patterns of thought through material such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, WG Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn, Virginia Woolf’s The Waves, and combines it with personal, intimate footage, images of the Welsh landscape, San Francisco, and of course, Chris Marker’s favourite animal.

AT THE PLACE OF GHOSTS (SK+TE'KMUJUE'KATIK)[I+N x CMF SERIES]87 minutes

The dangers of the past come in many forms. Two estranged Mi’kmaw siblings confront old animosities in an ancient forest, both in desperate need of healing. In their quest to rid themselves of the lingering evil that haunts them, they encounter the trail of their ancestors—and of their former selves. Mise’l (Blake Alec Miranda) is working a grueling shift when the jukebox warbles to life and an ominous presence from their childhood reveals itself, still capable of inflicting its wounds. Desperate, they seek out their younger brother, Antle (Forrest Goodluck). A task that requires them to part from their supportive partner and return home after many years away. Begrudgingly, their brother agrees to the journey, worried for his daughter’s safety if he does nothing, and they set out on a time-spanning mission. Elders are consulted. Strange creatures stalk them. Kinship is tested. The two heading deeper and deeper into nature at its most nurturing, and most menacing. From Bretten Hannam, the Two-Spirit L'nu filmmaker behind 2021’s acclaimed Wildhood (Opening Film I+N34, 2021), this is a ghost story of the highest order—equal parts eerie and edifying, and utterly unforgettable.
