Whose Land
Karmella Benedito De Barros
DURATION: 2:40
Before each screening, WHOSE LAND by Karmella Benedito De Barros will welcome us into our Bodies, Breath and Spirits as we prepare to witness each program.
WHOSE LAND is a short film grounded in acknowledging the animacy and generosity of land. This film serves as a space for reflecting on our relationship to the territories we each exist alongside. Created as an invitation to uncover and hold space for our own embodied personal territory acknowledgements, this film intends to support a somatic, embodied and meaningful experience. WHOSE LAND invites us to anchor ourselves into our bodies on the land, and to ground in a humbling, personal appreciation.
F-O-R-M is based in so-called Vancouver, in what is colonially known as Canada, on the unceded and stolen traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. F-O-R-M continues to reflect on and bring attention to connection to bodies, land and movement through filmmaking, documentation and storytelling. We are grateful to share and witness these stories together while inspiring movement towards positive change, wherever you may be.
