Cinema for Reconciliation: Personal filmmaking, family, community, and memory

Beverley Bennett, Elizabeth Webb, Wally Fall

Moderator: Rhonda Chan Soo

Cinema is relating—not only the stories we tell, but how we tell them. Amid the challenges and joys of personal filmmaking, this panel explores cinema as a means of reconnecting and healing. The panel will reflect on the (im)permanence of image-making and the yielding relationship between subject and storyteller while reconciling tenuous family relationships, confronting community and intergenerational trauma, and filling the void of distant relations.

THFF24 filmmakers Beverley Bennett (Simon Says/Dadda), Elizabeth Webb (Proximity Study (Sight Lines)), and Wally Fall (Dancing the Stumble), will be in conversation with Third Horizon Film Festival Panels Coordinator, Trinidadian documentary filmmaker Rhonda Chan Soo, whose present work focuses on family histories, personal filmmaking, and community-based storytelling.
