SUMMARY:Decolonizing the screen through Indigenous Cinema
DESCRIPTION:For as long as cinema has existed\, there have been stories with Indigenous themes and characters. But up until recently\, very rarely were these stories told from an Indigenous perspective. \nBut more and more\, Indigenous storytellers are decolonizing screens and tearing down stereotypes perpetuated for decades through various forms of media. \nUsing her feature film Rustic Oracle as a case study\, Sonia Bonspille Boileau will discuss the use of fiction to tell the truth and the importance of reclaiming Indigenous narratives to help reshape our collective memory. \nSonia Bonspille Boileau is a bilingual Kanienkeha:ka and Québécois filmmaker who has been working with Nish Media for the past decade to bring Indigenous content to the screen for viewers of all cultural backgrounds. Some of her documentary credits include Last Call Indian\, The Oka Legacy\, Wapikoni\, and Skindigenous. In 2015\, Sonia wrote and directed her first feature film\, Le Dep. Her second feature film\, Rustic Oracle\, has already received praises on the festival circuit and was just released in theatres. \nThis event is part of the Spirituality as Land\, Story and Relation series presented by the Department of Theological Studies with the support of the Faculty of Arts and Science.

SUMMARY:Writing Outside the Box: a Workshop on Edgy Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Interested in examining unsettling or edgy themes but don’t know how to get started? Nervous about writing outside the usual rules of CanLit? This workshop series is designed to help writers of any medium\, genre or experience level learn to start pushing boundaries with their work. \nFull of provocative exercises and frank discussion\, these fun and interactive sessions will provide participants with tips and techniques that will help build confidence in working with the unusual\, the taboo and the experimental. \nStudents will be asked to read aloud from their work and to provide feedback to other participants. Students will also receive written feedback from the instructor as the course progresses. \nTracey Waddleton is a Newfoundland writer living in Montréal. Her work has been published in Riddle Fence\, NQ\, the Cuffer Anthology and elsewhere. A finalist for the NLCU Fresh Fish Award for Emerging Writers and recipient of the 2015 Lawrence Jackson Writers’ Award\, Waddleton’s work has been described as weird and wonderful minimalist dark realism. Her first book\, Send More Tourists… the Last Ones Were Delicious\, was published in July of 2019. She is the inaugural recipient of the Quebec Writers’ Federation Max Margles Writing Residency and is scheduled to spend a month writing in Dublin in 2021. \nFor details\, please see event link.
