“Com Força” By Morgan Inglis

A young man shrugs off stereotypical definitions of masculinity and gender and finds strength and clarity in his life through dance. Bridging the gap between art film and documentary, this short by director Morgan Inglis is an artistic exploration of the real life experiences of dancer Juan Duarte across the two landscapes of dance and fashion.

HOU'LEY (ABSENT) Fond du Lac is a Dene First Nations community in northern Saskatchewan. The name quite literally translates to “Bottom of the Lake,” It has one of the highest suicide rates among youth in Canada. In this documentary short, one grieving mother tells the story of her fifteen year old son and his untimely and tragic death from suicide. With limited mental health support, it has been nearly three years since she has been able to speak openly about the trauma she and her family experienced following the loss of her son.
