With the design of TIFF Bell Lightbox, TIFF siezed the opportunity to create an exhibition space to compliment their film programming and truly solidify their place as a unique cultural centre in the city. And so the HSBC Gallery was born. On June 21, 2012 TIFF launched a new exhibition in that space entitled Home on Native Land to run parallel with their expansive film programme, First People’s Cinema: 1500 Nations, One Tradition, as well as to commemorate Canada’s National Aboriginal Day.
The exhibition has brought together some of the most groundbreaking Indigenous artists from around the world whose work uses video and film as a large component of the boundary-pushing work they do. The exhibition runs from June 21 until August 19, 2012 and is completely free. We have put together just a small taste of each of these incredible pieces, which as a whole tell a story of how Indigenous and non-Indigenous people have lived together, but most importantly, presents a vision of how we could co-exist harmoniously in the future.

Like most people who write for the web, I’ve been obsessed with movies since I was very young. My favourite movies are The Social Network, Easy A and Garden State, but I try to spend my time broadening my film horizons. I’m the Publisher of Toronto Film Scene and I Heart Movies, and in my “spare” time, I’m a web designer and strategist. (Gotta support my movie habit somehow…)
