SUMMARY:Screening of Hommes-relais\, Becoming Ruby and Red Girl Rising
DESCRIPTION:With Vladimir Chindea and HotDocs \n  \nWe are pleased to present\, in collaboration with HotDocs\, three Citizen Minutes documentaries: Hommes-relais\, Becoming Ruby\, and Red Girl Rising. Each of these films runs approximately ten minutes and speaks directly to COHDS’s core values of inclusion\, resilience\, solidarity\, and hope. Together\, they are sure to captivate viewers and evoke powerful emotional engagement. \nHommes-relais explores experiences of grief and adaptation within the Quebec immigration process\, following a group of men who meet regularly to share their stories and develop tools to navigate life in a new home. \nBecoming Ruby follows Ruby Chopstix\, Canada’s first drag artist-in-residence\, as they confront the challenges of underrepresentation and create a showcase that opens space for other queer BIPOC performers. \nFinally\, Red Girl Rising highlights the work of Mohawk matriarch\, retired teacher\, activist\, and humanitarian Joyce Jonathan Crone\, whose compassionate efforts in her Huntsville\, Ontario community help bridge divides and strengthen Indigenous education. \nFollowing the screening\, we are honoured to host a roundtable discussion with Vladimir Chindea\, director of Hommes-relais. \n  \nVladimir Chindea is a Romanian-Canadian filmmaker currently completing the MFA in Cinematic Arts at Concordia University. His work explores themes of migration\, memory\, and existential inquiry. He directed/produced the short film Remember (2022) and regularly collaborates on both narrative and non-fiction projects as an assistant director. Vladimir holds a BA (Honours) in Philosophy and International Relations from the University of British Columbia. Trained as an ‘Homme-relais’ himself\, it was the light of the CRIC community and the felt inspiration from Juan Manuel that guided him to direct this documentary debut. \n  \nREGISTRATION  \nRegister now with this link \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.
