Shi’s practice is informed by two pivotal moments: losing her childhood community in Beijing due to urban development\, and navigating a decade-long immigration process in early adulthood. These experiences have shaped Shi’s interest in the impact of displacement and dislocation on individuals across generations and within communities. \n\nFilm Program:\nThe Fighter by André-Charles Ishpatao (Canada: French) – 6 min \n \nAndré-Charles is a boxer. Sports changed his life. He hopes his journey will inspire others to regain their pride and hold their heads high when facing life’s adversities. \n\nBargaining Forward by Colleen Butler (Canada: English & French) – 22 min \n \nThis bilingual (English and French) documentary showcases the unity and resilience of 22\,000 public sector workers in New Brunswick\, Canada\, as they strike against wage suppression. It explores strategic mobilization and collective bargaining efforts by the Canadian Union of Public Employees\, culminating in a province-wide movement that successfully challenges austerity and sparks labour action across Canada. Produced by the Canadian Union of Public Employees. \n\nPermit Garden by Jenny Yujia Shi (Canada: no dialogue) – 5 min \n \nA dreamlike parable about immigration\, Permit Garden follows a nameless child as they toil to gain exit from the Garden. But as time goes on\, they wonder if escape is even possible. Will their number ever be called? \n\nHumormàtic by Pau Escribano (Spain) – 20 min \n \nA comedy screenwriter for a TV show has to work with a new partner\, Humormatic\, a machine that writes jokes. The screenwriter will try to make her colleagues\, her bosses\, the TV host and the audience value her work\, but Humormatic won’t make things easy. \n\nCounting Days by Hiromu Yamawaki (Canada: Japanese) – 11 min \n \nAyano\, a Japanese migrant worker faces reality of living in a foreign land. She makes herself a morning coffee with one of the filters that she just bought. It is a pack of 90. The number of days before her VISA expires. \n\nThe Canadian Dream by Ilse Moreno (Canada: Spanish) – 9 min \n \nA migrant worker’s pursuit of ‘The Canadian Dream’ takes a ​nightmarish turn as he uncovers an unsightly truth in the Ontarian ​agricultural industry. His quest for a better life in Canada unfolds through his own words and from his daughter’s perspective in this poignant family portrait. \n\nAdidas Owns the Reality by Keil Orion Troisi & Igor Vamos (US: English) – 22 min \n \nTrickster activists the Yes Men collaborate with Clean Clothes Campaign and Berlin fashion designers to orchestrate an elaborate hoax announcement in an effort to improve conditions for garment workers and sustainability in the Adidas supply chain. Then they stage a shocking and hilarious fashion show at the opening of Berlin Fashion Week that makes the world pay attention to labor and environmental abuses that the mega-brand is trying to hide.
