Every year, the work of  Indigenous artists of film, video, radio, and new media across the planet are celebrated during Toronto’s imagineNATIVE Film + New Media Arts Festival. Now in its thirteenth year, the festival will take place at TIFF Bell Lightbox where, in addition to the usual cinematic delights, a selection of web-based New Media will be showcased.

Featured artists include Cheryl L’Hirondelle, Archer Pechawis and Sheila Urbanoski, who will be recreating the website “Speaking the Language of Spiders,” an artistic collaboration between imagineNATIVE, the NFB, Vtape, and ITWÉ will be given a sneak peak during the festival as well at VMAC Gallery, with a discussion being held at TIFF Bell Lightbox on Saturday October 20, 2012 at 10:30am. Some films featured in the Festival include Michael Melski and Hank White’s Charlie Zone, Cristian Jure and Pascual Pichún’s Diez Veces Venceremos, and Melissa A. Henry’s Run Red Walk. All screen as part of this year’s vast selection of shorts and feature lengths, for which you can find a complete list (including screening times) here.

Daniel is a graduate of the University of Guelph’s theatre studies program. Having performed Shakespeare in drag once, Daniel attempts to sound unique and mysteriously cool when speaking with woman in bars. He then proceeds to take over the dance floor, performing a rendition of Thom Yorke’s dancing in Radiohead’s Lotus Flower video as performed by a geriatric. Who is suffering. A lot apparently. He is also allergic to cats, the villainous harbingers of apocalypse and the odour of kitty litter – which is a stupid name for a toilet.
