When their getaway car falls apart, a bank robber discovers you can’t outrun karma.
Emilie Azevedo (she/they) works across documentary and digital media, building stories that question how we see and understand the world around us. Their films touch on internet culture, media studies, and the ways we experience travel and tourism. They blend investigative journalism and cinematography to amplify narratives otherwise neglected from mainstream media. Most recently, she directed Les couleurs du spectre, a children’s series about autism for Bell Fibe TV1. Their work has screened at twelve festivals across Quebec, Ontario, and online. Alongside their artistic practice, Emilie runs a commercial videography and marketing business.

Ketsia Beboua is an artist who tells stories across film and television. Her work explores identity and purpose, weaving these themes through comedy and drama. She brings a distinct perspective to every project, each standing apart in style while staying true to her core themes. She is currently building her slate, led by two major projects: the short-form series ‘In Session’, and the half-hour comedy series ‘MisDirected’, which is currently under option with Toronto-based production company Archipelago. A graduate of Algonquin College’s Film & Media program, she has expanded her expertise through Sundance Collab Programs and the Soho House x CFC Mentorship, where Andrew Barnsley is mentoring her.

In this personal documentary, the filmmaker travels to Thunder Bay, Ontario seeking a connection to the city that might have been hers, had her mother not been banished to Ottawa as a pregnant teenager, and coerced into relinquishing her for adoption.

Penny McCann’s body of work spans thirty years and encompasses narrative, documentary and experimental films and videos as well as installation work. In her experimental body of work, her films journey through an abstract and poetic terrain, forming a sustained meditation on landscape, place, and time. Her work has been exhibited extensively at festivals and galleries nationally and internationally, including the Ann Arbor Film Festival (Ann Arbor, Michigan), Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg (Hamburg, Germany), Analogica (Bolzano, Italy), the Cinémathèque Québecoise (Montreal, Quebec), the Ottawa Art Gallery, and the Canadian Film Institute (Ottawa, Ont.).

Chantal Gervais is a photo-based and video artist whose work explores the body, mortality, representation, the interconnections between memory and loss, and the body and technology. Her work has been exhibited in group and solo shows in Canada and abroad and is currently part of SPAO Photo Walk in Ottawa. Her photographs are in public and private collections including Global Affairs Canada, the Ottawa Art Gallery and the City of Ottawa. In 2014, she was awarded the Karsh Award and the Canada Council Photography Prize in 2002. She received a BFA in photography from the University of Ottawa and an MA in Art and Media Practice from the University of Westminster (London, U.K.). She has been a professor of photography at the University of Ottawa since 2005.
