Berlin super 8 filmmaker Dagie Brundert is packing her bags as I write this:
She is about to arrive in Toronto as the inaugural Goethe-LIFT Filmmaker-in-Residence. She will engage in workshops, super 8-based city explorations and two presentations of her work, as well as a trip to Windsor's Media City Film Festival. Details on our web site next week.
Asked “When I think of Toronto/Canada I imagine….“, Dagie answered expectantly (& still from Berlin)...
".... a high and wide sky, the flavour of maple syrup lingering in the air, a dynamic variety of alternative and funky culture and lots of lovely quirky people!!!"
We'll see how we live up to this excited expectation in a post-residency Q&A in this spot in June. In the meantime, Dagie Brundert will guest blog right here over the next few weeks with visual impressions of her Toronto adventures and endeavours.
A special thanks to Ben Donoghue and LIFT for their dedication & much appreciated partnership in this new international film residency.
