Daniel Janke won the coveted MITY professional award for his beautifully textured Finding Milton. Tookie Mercredi's Our Changing Homeland, Our Changing Lives took in the second prize. The MITY Emerging Artist Award went to Evan Rensch and Aubyn O'Grady's dryly hilarious Soft Spoken, with Brendan Reeses garnering 2nd prize for Thursday.
The youngest award winner went to Rory Duncan for his spectacular
Bear Creek Rocket Cam.
The audience choice went to the wonderful Cry Rock out of British Columbia, with the Lodestar award for the best Canadian or international film going to The Old Man and the Lady from Finland.
Festival Guests Judy Gladstone of Bravo!FACT, and Michale Greyeyes conducted excellent workshops and participants in Brenda Longfellow’s workshop “From Documentary to Documentary Opera” even got their hands dirty by making a film over the weekend that screened on the final night of the festival. Video artist Isabelle Pauwells held special screenings in the ODD Gallery and journalist Gwynne Dyer made an appearance at the festival to discuss his new book Climate Wars. With other filmmakers prowling the ton shooting their Super 8 1-Minute Challenge films, the town was alive with film fever, prompting Judy Gladstone to declare the DCISFF, the “Sundance Film Festival of the North”!
Thanks to all for a great festival and we're teeing it up for next year!
