SUMMARY:Screening of Wind\, Tide & Oar followed by a discussion with Huw Wahl
DESCRIPTION:Join the Concordia Ethnography Lab and Maya Lamothe-Katrapani for another ethnographic film screening\, on April 8th. This time\, we’ll watch \nWind\, Tide & Oar: Encounters With Engineless Sailing (2024\, 84 min) by British cineast Huw Wahl.\n\n\nThe screening will be followed by a virtual Q&A with the director moderated by Polina Shubina\, member of the Montreal Waterways boating research group.\n\nABOUT THE FILM: \nWind\, Tide & Oar is a compelling exploration of engineless sailing\, shot on analogue film over three years. The film delves into the experiences of those who travel solely by harnessing the natural elements alone\, following a diverse array of traditional boats and uncovering the unique rhythms and motivations of engineless navigation. \nJourneying through rivers\, coastlines\, and open seas\, spanning the UK\, the Netherlands\, and France\, Wind\,Tide & Oar creates a contemplative space\, addressing themes of ecology\, heritage\, traditional skills\, and maritime history. Using a 1960s hand-wound camera\, Wahl offers a poetic and intimate perspective on a millennia-old craft\, upended by the invention of mechanised power. \nThrough the film’s reveries\, sailing becomes a means to explore our interaction with and responsibility to the environment. It invites deep reflection on our relationship with nature\, our understanding of and commitment to sustainability\, and our care for the world around us. \n  \nABOUT  THE FILMMAKER: \nWahl‘s work has been screened internationally at film festivals such as CPH:DOX\, Festival du nouveau cinéma and Open City Docs\, in art galleries and museums like Centre Pompidou Metz\, Royal Museums Greenwich and the Whitworth\, as well as in universities like NYU\, documentary art centres like Union Docs\, and by sea onboard an engineless Thamses sailing barge touring the South East coast of England. \nHe has won several international awards with his films\, and they’ve featured in magazines like Sight and Sound and The Wire\, and received funding from organisations such as Arts Council England\, The Henry Moore Foundation\, and the Royal Photographic Society. \nHis writing has been published in magazines\, academic journals and books. He has also curated film programmes\, been part of international film festival juries\, taught film & photography courses in university and community settings in the UK and abroad\, and worked as an AHRC funded research associate for the University of Manchester. \nWind\, Tide & Oar\, his film about the art of engineless sailing\, is distributed by Tull Stories\, and will be released into UK cinemas in spring 2025. \n  \n🗓 April 8\, 2025\n⏱️ 6-8 PM\n📍Screening Room VA-114\n.\nThis screening received generous support from the Concordia Council on Student Life\n\n.\n.

SUMMARY:Screening and discussion with Sarra El Abed
DESCRIPTION:Join the Concordia Ethnography Lab and Maya Lamothe-Katrapani for another ethnographic film screening\, on March 13th. This time\, the screening is organized with fellow anthropology graduate student Clare Walker. Sarra El Abed’s Ain’t No Time For Women (2021\, 19 minutes) will be followed by the screening of Uncle Yanco\, a short film by Agnès Varda\, a seminal filmmaker within the French New Wave. \nA virtual Q&A with Sarra El Abed will follow to discuss both her work and Varda’s influence on her creative practice.\n\n \n\nABOUT THE FILMS: \n \nAin’t No Time For Women: Tunis\, November 2019. A group of women is gathered at Saïda’s\, the hairdresser\, on the eve of the presidential election. The salon is transformed into a town square\, mirroring the internal turmoil of the country. In this female sanctuary\, we get an intimate look at the county’s teenage democracy.\n\n\n \nUncle Yanco: Agnès Varda travels to a Californian houseboat community to meet Jean Varda (known affectionately as Uncle Yanco)\, a Greek emigrant relative whom Varda has never met. In her characteristic cinematic style\, Varda brings herself into the countercultural beat scene of 1960s San Francisco\, finding resonances with Uncle Yanco in conversations of dreams\, art\, and living.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nABOUT THE FILMMAKER: \n\nSarra El Abed\, born in Tunisia and raised in Montreal\, explores the intersection of both cultures in her work. Her short documentary AIN’T NO TIME FOR WOMEN (filmed in Tunisia\, available on The New Yorker) screened at Clermont-Ferrand\, Dok Leipzig\, and Slamdance\, earning nominations and awards\, including Best Canadian Short at Hot Docs. This success led to LES COLLECTIONNEURS\, filmed in Cairo and available on Tou.Tv. Blending fiction and documentary\, she highlights the beauty of the mundane with flamboyant\, often feminine characters and a touch of humor. She is currently developing two feature films\, ADIEU MINETTE\, GOODBYE PARTY and GENS QUI RIENT\, GENS QUI PLEURENT. With ADIEU MINETTE\, she participated in the TIFF Filmmaker Lab\, TIFF Talent Accelerator\, and won the FNC X Netflix Pitch.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🗓 March 13\, 2025\n⏱️ 6-8 PM\n📍Screening Room EV 10.525\n🎟️ Make sure to reserve your spot\, If you can’t make it anymore please let Maya know so she can give your seat to someone else.\n.\nThis screening received generous support from the Concordia Council on Student Life\n.\n.

SUMMARY:Anthropocene: The Human Epoch screening with Director Jennifer Baichwal
DESCRIPTION:Join the Concordia Ethnography Lab for the screening of ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch\, a film by Jennifer Baichwal\, Edward Burtynsky and Nicholas de Pencier. The vent is co-organized with the McGill Centre for Innovation in Storage and Conversion of Energy. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Director Jennifer Baichwal.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA cinematic meditation on humanity’s massive reengineering of the planet\, ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch is a four years in the making feature documentary film from the multiple-award winning team of Jennifer Baichwal\, Nicholas de Pencier and Edward Burtynsky. Third in a trilogy that includes Manufactured Landscapes (2006) and Watermark (2013)\, the film follows the research of an international body of scientists\, the Anthropocene Working Group who\, after nearly 10 years of research\, are arguing that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century\, because of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth. From concrete seawalls in China that now cover 60% of the mainland coast\, to the biggest terrestrial machines ever built in Germany\, to psychedelic potash mines in Russia’s Ural Mountains\, to metal festivals in the closed city of Norilsk\, to the devastated Great Barrier Reef in Australia and surreal lithium evaporation ponds in the Atacama desert\, the filmmakers have traversed the globe using high end production values and state of the art camera techniques to document evidence and experience of human planetary domination.\nAt the intersection of art and science\, ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch witnesses in an experiential and non-didactic sense a critical moment in geological history — bringing a provocative and unforgettable experience of our species’ breadth and impact.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n📅 November 28\, 2024 | 6 pm\n📍 VA-114\n🔗 Please register here for the event as spots are limited!

SUMMARY:The Crip/Mad Archive Dances: Embodied Histories
DESCRIPTION:How do disabled and mad people survive\, dance\, insert their differences in a world full of stigma? How do we live through bodymindspirit experiences of alienation and pain? \nThis experimental documentary charts disability culture archives and embodied gestures of survival and creative expression. It draws on community with human and non-human others: media clips as performance gifts\, archival footage from dance archives\, environmental embedment and grounding in trees\, water\, desert and lakes. Together\, we dance\, and spring our binds. Petra’s Q&A opens up using various creative methods to approach archival finds. \nPlease note: This experimental documentary shares instances of medical incarceration including insulin violence. It offers survivor testimonies of artful and agency-full reclamation. The film is fully subtitled in English. The documentary uses ‘crip’ and ‘mad’ as in-group signifiers\, aware of stigma and histories. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS: \nPetra Kuppers is a disability culture activist and a community performance artist. She grounds herself in disability culture methods\, and uses somatics\, performance\, media work\, and speculative writing to engage audiences toward more socially just and enjoyable futures. Her latest academic study is the award-winning Eco Soma: Pain and Joy in Speculative Performance Encounters (UoMinnesota Press\, 2022\, open access). Her fourth poetry collection\, Diver Beneath the Street\, uses a psychogeographic lens to investigate true crime and ecopoetry at the level of the soil\, bringing together life and death (Wayne State University Press\, 2024). \nShe teaches at the University of Michigan\, was a 2022 Dance/USA Fellow\, and a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow. She is currently at work on Planting Disabled Futures\, a virtual reality/community performance project\, as a Social Science Research Council Just Tech Fellow (2024-2026). \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n📅: November 4\, 2024 | 10:30 a.m – 12:30 p.m \n📍: 4TH Space \n🔗 To participate online you can register on Zoom or watch live on YouTube. \n
