Finding That Bridge is a short film (3:36) about a two-spirit Cree woman encountering and beginning to find a name for bridges in her life. She grew up with bridges. Bridges between Christian and ‘traditional’ beliefs, the spiritual and the ‘real,’ between spirits, between the old and the new, and even between the hydro-electric project that separated her Manitoba reserve in two. In this short film, she expresses this in-between and nameless place through dance on an urban bridge. The grass dance is a traditional male dance, but she uses it to express her gendered self and her desire to learn and create balance in her life. |
