In celebration of International Women’s Month, we are proud to screen DARC’s Media Art Production Fund recipient Pixie Cram’s latest film The Pavilion. After the screening, Pixie will discuss the making of this part live action and part stop motion film set during WWII.

About the Talk:

In this talk, Pixie Cram will discuss the challenges of making The Pavilion (15 minutes, 2026), including filming with cast and crew over five days at a remote, off-grid spot in the Pontiac – which culminated in a visit from a black bear – to creating magical sequences with stop motion animation on location with available light. The filmmaker will also discuss the process of working with designers to build authentic props and costumes that fit the time period, from the 1940s era storybook, to the hand-crafted wooden rowboat, and obtaining the rights to WWII archival audio segments via LAC and CBC.  

About Pixie Cram:

Pixie Cram is a filmmaker based in the Ottawa-Gatineau region. The format of her work includes stop-motion animation, live action fiction, and small-gauge film (super8 & 16mm). Her films have screened at festivals across Canada and internationally..
