Best Director: The Cold / Iowísto
Dir: Brittany Delgaty The Cold, translated to Iowísto in Mohawk, written by Jesse Menard features a young Indigeouns family living in Northern Ontario with a few of their friends who have taken refuge at their farmhouse in efforts to escape the virus spreading fast in the city. A traditional tea recipe in the family passed down to Machk, Pete and Tapeesa keeps the group healthy - it’s not a cure, but the herbs are medicine that builds immunity to the virus. Tapeesa and her two half brothers, Machk and Pete, have different views about sharing the recipe. Upon discovering that their neighbours, the Merciers, have fallen ill, Tapeesa wants to share the family recipe with them - especially since the neighbour’s son, Andrew, is her boyfriend. The two families have a long history fueled by petty allegations that go generations back.

MUSIC VIDEO
Music Video: Niña Bonita
Dir: NATÁLIYAH, Aaron Bravo Niña Bonita is a song written and performed by Natáliyah, an artist and musician originally from Mexico. While living in New York City, pursuing dreams and writing music, Natáliyah faced an emotional period of time, in which the thought of missing things, missing home and being apart from family brought her to writing this lullaby for her mother. The visuals represent the process of thinking that happen when one is feeling the nostalgia of remembering the people we love the most, in this case; our mother. Recreating scenes from her Childhood, Natáliyah aimed to create a visual piece of art that could reflect the passing of time, the dreaming state of melancholic thoughts and the conclusion of all being non-divisible. In the frame, we see the real mother figures of the artist: her Mother, her Grandmother and her Nanny who is known as "Aunt" by the family. Metaphoric and realistic language are both spoken in a piece of 3 minutes and 55 seconds. |
