DOXA DAY SIX! 


*FILMMAKER IN ATTENDANCE* 
*ONLY SCREENING*
MON MAY 8 | 8:45PM | VANCITY
Be sure to catch  A Moon of Nickel and Ice   with filmmaker François Jacob in attendance  for a post-screening Q&A. 

Congratulations to François, who was given the
Emerging Canadian Filmmaker Award last week at Hot Docs in recognition of his achievement with this film. 

He captures life in contemporary Norilsk (the city produces 20% of the world's nickel) with a roaming camera, depicting the city and its residents with care and curiosity. A mix of black and white archival footage and a minimalist piano score softens the industrial-strength grimness.

TUE MAY 8 | 12:30PM | ANNEX

Fattitude tackles the subject of body-size prejudice from a multiplicity of perspectives including race, class, and gender. Featuring interviews and analyses from a broad range of writers, academics, activists, and artists, Fattitude assails a complex tangle of cultural and social constructs - everything from economic status to the politics of being seen. 
 

TUE MAY 9 | 3:00PM | ANNEX
SAT MAY 13 | 6:30PM | CINEMATHEQUE

Let There Be Light explains the complex science needed to make this theoretical process become a reality. Science, history, politics, and visionary personalities combine with panache to achieve just the right 'planetarium' feel without getting cheesy. Archival footage and animation are also employed to great visual (and often hilarious) effect. Buckle up for a journey beyond the frontiers of science and technology with some sexy sub-particles.

TUE MAY 9 | 9PM | CINEMATHEQUE

Along the sidewalks and cafés of Seine-Saint-Denis, groups of young men talk with remarkable bluntness and honesty about love, desire, sex, and race. As one man says "White people experience love. They were taught how." Made with a shattering level of intimacy, Alice Diop's film is both a cinepoem and a piercing statement on the nature of disenfranchisement.
