Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Through An Indigenous Lens

We talk to Indigenous Directors Nyla Innuksuk (Slash/Back) and Danis Goulet (Night Raiders) about using horror, science-fiction and fantasy to tell authentic, unique stories about the Indigenous experience. We explore how genre provides many opportunities for Indigenous filmmakers to tell original, culturally-relevant stories, how horror, science-fiction, and fantasy are already an important part of the Indigenous storytelling tradition, and how, despite a legacy of generational trauma, Indigenous filmmakers are imagining a future in which their community not only survives, but thrives. Night Raiders is available to watch on Crave, TIFF Digital, and VOD. Slash/Back is available to watch in theatres, on TIFF Digital, and on VOD.

The Swedish Invasion

The Toronto Maple Leafs retain the largest NHL fanbase in Sweden. Every year, hundreds make the pilgrimage to Toronto to see the Hockey Hall of Fame and watch the Buds. The reason isn’t just because the 416 is the ‘Mecca of Hockey.’ It’s not even all to do with Mats Sundin. No, the connection between the Blue and White and the Scandinavian nation goes back much further - to 1973, and scout Gerry McNamara. We’ll talk to McNamara about his scouting trips to Sweden, and how the two players he found there - Borje Salming and Inge Hammarstrom - changed the NHL and Maple Leafs hockey in particular, creating a connection that abides and continues to grow. CREDITS: Leafs Forever is hosted by Scott Willats & written by Paul Matthews. This episode was produced by Katie Jensen & Vocal Fry Studios. Production & research assistance from Cecilia Keating, Jay Cockburn, Ellen Payne Smith, and Erika Dreher. Special thanks to the men at the centre of the story, Borje Salming & Gerry McNamara, for making themselves available to us. Big huge thanks to Stephen Cole, author of Hockey Night Fever. Special thanks to Mike Ferriman, who knows and has access to more of the history than anyone else we know. Thanks to Mike Zemaitis and Nick Konarowski for digging through the Leafs TV archives again.

Exploring the Queer Filmmaker Galaxy with Director Pat Mills, Editor Maureen Grant and Production Manager Moe Rai

In this episode of The Wider Lens, we’re shining a spotlight on queer film and TV with three passionate DGC Ontario Members: Director Pat Mills, Picture Editor Maureen Grant, and Production Manager Moe Rai. Over the last few years, there has been an extraordinary push for queer representation. Audiences all over the world are connecting with queer shows shot right here in Ontario, like Sort Of, Schitt's Creek, What We Do in the Shadows, and The Umbrella Academy. From behind the camera to the production office to the editing suite, Pat, Maureen and Moe shed light on what this surge in representation means for the community, the challenges they've encountered working within a predominantly straight and cisgender industry, the power of seeing yourself reflected authentically on screen, and the profound impact representation has for future generations.

Featuring Georgia Webber

Georgia Webber, writer and illustrator, comes to the Cavern of Secrets to talk about what it means when you can’t express yourself, learning to draw again, and allowing the possibility that someone will say ‘yes’ and help you. Georgia’s graphic memoir, Dumb, is about what it means to become voiceless and how it changes you. Our favourite moments: “If there’s something that calls for my voice to be raised at all in a really loud way, I can push it if I want to and I most of the time really want to. But it’s a bad idea.” [4:43] “I had always wanted to make comics but I didn’t feel like I was good enough to start. Which is a terrible trap to be caught in.” [5:34] I hit send. I woke up the next morning and I felt - god, I’m gonna sound like such an asshole right now - I felt the closest thing I can to enlightened.” [10:05] It’s much harder for us to accept something that changes constantly and it’s much harder for the wide broad us to accept complication” [14:55] “It’s also fascinating to collaborate with someone and have her voice at the centre of it but she can’t see what I’m doing. She’s exercising a massive amount of trust…” [17:00] “This idea of disability as a shift in health paradigm as the rest of the world to accept is something that I’m grappling with” [24:00] “I could see all the accommodations that were being made for people who had those different needs and being in that space and sharing it with them was not a detriment to my experience in any way” [28:05] CREDITS: Cavern of Secrets is hosted by Lauren Mitchell. Produced by Ellen Payne Smith & Katie Jensen, with assistance from Vicky Mochama and Sarah Daniel.
