Interested in exploring documentary film creation and not sure where to begin? Local documentary filmmakers, Derek Kwan and Joella Cabalu, present a hands-on workshop on the foundations of storytelling and relationship-building skills needed to tell and create personal stories through the documentary format. Derek and Joella will present their own work which touches on family histories, culture, and immigration, as well as share their experiences in developing stories, incorporating archival videos and photographs, and building trust within different communities.

EXHIBITION
Dates: May 8 - 26

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Indigenous, Black and People of Colour communities are disproportionately underrepresented in all media. How do past images unearthed from personal and institutional archives come to shape new stories?

The Home Made Visible tour brings a personal lens to Indigenous and visible minority archives through FREE exhibitions, screenings, and workshops in libraries across Canada. Visit HomeMadeVisible.ca/Tour
