Feature: Yelling to the Sky
Victoria Mahoney, USA, 2011, 95 min, Canadian Premiere, English
Seventeen year-old Sweetness O’Hara has very little to lose. Her family life is a mess; she can’t walk the streets of her neighbourhood without the threat of brutality; her high school’s hallways aren’t any safer, nor is her home, leaving her increasingly isolated and looking for escape.
Director Victoria Mahoney brought Yelling to the Sky to the Directors and Screenwriters Sundance Institute Labs and was named an Auerbach Fellow, Maryland Fellow, Annenberg Fellow, Cinereach Fellow and IFP Narrative Lab fellow
Actress Zoe Kravitz, plays Sweetness. Oscar-nominee Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) co-stars.
Short: Collect Call
Christopher Mills, Canada, 2010, 5 min, English
A moody, multi-dimensional animation, Collect Call is a meditative short film that follows a young woman as she faces mortality, death, and her ultimate renewal.~ Part “goodbye lullaby,” part steampunk hallucination and part music video (Metric), director Christopher Mills pushes the aesthetic boundaries of the medium without sacrificing access to the underlying story.
