In celebration of Black History Month Ottawa, IFCO presents an artist talk with visiting filmmaker Tasha N. Waldron (Toronto, Canada). On Saturday, March 3rd at the Mercury Lounge. IFCO invites members of the public to come out and see what ‘reel’ filmmaking is ALL about!
Tasha N. Waldron is on the fast track to success! She is an emerging filmmaker/media artist now residing in the city of Toronto, with a passion for directing, writing and editing. Her work to date includes dramatic shorts, experimental films and music videos that have been broadcast and exhibited at various festivals and screenings. Tasha’s work is often inspired by her real life experiences, which lends a uniquely authentic quality to her pieces.
Ms.
Waldron was recently awarded a coveted internship as part of The Telefilm
producer trainee program administered by the Canadian Media Production
Association (CMPA), and is presently
interning at Conquering
Lion Pictures (Toronto) under renowned Canadian producer Damon D'Oliveira,
and internationally acclaimed, award-winning Canadian filmmaker of colour,
Clément Virgo (RUDE & Lie with Me).
Accompanying Ms. Waldron’s films, will be the film works of two
other IFCO filmmakers of colour and a gem from IFCO’s archives
(lèzenvisib); a beautifully poetic filmic ode to Haiti.
The screening is approximately 40 minutes long, with an artist talk
and Q&A moderated by Ottawa’s own fabulous radio, television,
and community personality, Ms.
Sarah Onyango to follow.
