Homegrown: wade into murky waters

Please join us for Homegrown: wade into murky waters, a free Community Screening of Saskatchewan-made short films, followed by a panel discussion moderated by Emma Zuck.

This is the second iteration of Homegrown, imagined by filmmaker Emma Zuck. Homegrown is a community-focused effort to create more space for filmmakers and film-lovers to gather, learn, and celebrate on Treaty Six.

These films play with memory— the personal, the shared, and the fabricated. Can a film feel like remembering? Can it make you forget? From reminiscing to reimagining, to tearing holes in existing narratives, these films ask us to look a little longer until the meaning changes. At times disorienting, funny, nostalgic, cathartic, we invite you to feel it all!

Emma Zuck is a mixed-race filmmaker and writer. Inspired by queerness, love, and visceral image-making, she longs to blur the lines of fantasy and reality. Filmmaking is her way of sharing secrets and listening in.

In 2023 she started Homegrown, a celebration of prairie filmmaking on Treaty Six, and hopes to grow its capacity for community arts programming.
