TODAY WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 - 4PM We at POV are ecstatic to announce the launch of our new series in partnership with DGC Ontario: The Process, a monthly series aimed at emerging creatives!... The Process invites top Canadian filmmakers and POV Alumni to engage in a focused discussion on a singular topic or theme related to the craft of filmmaking. We want our audience to walk away with inspiring lessons, hard-won insights and practical knowledge that they can use in their own filmmaking practice. For our first topic this September we are focusing on: Portraying Social Issue-Driven Stories on Screen with Depth and Authenticity. When you’re portraying a story that seeks to highlight an important cause or aims to represent the unique experiences of a community, the stakes can feel high. What are the hallmark signs of a well-told issue-driven story And how can filmmaking approach sensitive subjects with depth, creativity and accuracy? Exploring this topic with us will be Kelly Fyffe-Marshall (Black Bodies, TIFF 2020) and Tiffany Hsiung (Sing Me a Lullaby, TIFF 2020), two filmmakers with a track record of depicting community stories and challenging topics on screen with vulnerability, authenticity and great storytelling ability. The discussion will be moderated by POV Alumni and filmmaker, Sunita Miya-Muganza to shed light on their process and leave the audience with practical advice for filmmakers looking to represent important topics on screen.
