The ReFrame Film Festival reveals a slate of 60+ incredible social justice documentary films! The beloved festival gives audiences across Canada nine days to stream documentary films from January 26 - February 3, 2023. In addition, the festival is hosting an in-person Opening Night screening at Showplace and an art exhibition at Artspace.
The virtual festival features an extensive list of fascinating films on the International circuit including Subject that explores the life-altering experience of sharing one's life on screen through the participants of five acclaimed documentaries, Be My Voice about exiled journalist Masih Alinejad who urges Iranian women to rebel on social media, The Seeds of Vandana Shiva presents the incredible life story of the Gandhian eco-activist, and Devil Put The Coal In The Ground looks at the devastation brought on by the coal industry and its decline.
Canadian premieres include Norwegian Headache about a historic lawsuit that grants unborn Norwegians the right to a clean environment, and Freedom Hill that explores the environmental racism washing away the town of Princeville, North Carolina. Canadian feature films include The Colour of Ink which follows acclaimed Toronto artist Jason Logan who creates incredible inks from foraged plants and found objects and Love in the Time of Fentanyl about a renegade safe injection site in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
Local short films include the world premiere of Rewilding the Classroom, by educator Cam Douglas and filmmaker Rodney Fuentes, about aligning educational practices with the reality of environmental crises through the Youth Leadership in Sustainability program, and The Butch and the Baby Daddy from Trent professor Karleen Pendleton Jimenez about a trans/butch lesbian who asks her close friend to help her build a family.
New this year, ReFrame and Artspace have collaborated on a special in-person exhibition on-view at Artspace from January 25 - February 25. Featured projects include What Fools These Mortals Be, a three-channel video installation that reimagines Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a series of tableaux vivants (living pictures) performed by formerly incarcerated women, and Intravene, an immersive audio experience about the opioid crisis. Check the ReFrame and Artspace websites for viewing times, and additional live programming.
