Sky Hopinka: Redefining potential territories

I'll Remember You as You Were Not as What You'll Become Sky Hopinka

This visually rich film with a dense sound design is a compelling tribute to Indigenous poet Diane Burns. This work explores visual textures and archival footage from a poetry reading interspersed with glimmering light, poetry, and scenes from a powwow, which melt into abstraction through digital effects. Through this sequence of elements, an inspired meditation emerges on death and reincarnation. (HSB)

This film is presented as part of the retrospective Sky Hopinka : Redefining Potential Territories.
