SUMMARY:Guelph Film Festival: Short Series II: Stand With Me
DESCRIPTION:This international short film showcase looks at support\, solidarity\, and community in times of upheaval\, war\, and environmental or social change. \nINTERNATIONAL | 78 min | Partial Subtitles\nTickets: $15/PWYW\nCo-presented by Guelph Museums and Ed Video \nTickets available via Guelph Film Festival. \nAbout the Films\n \nand the story remains\nDarya Maljesi | CANADA | 6 min\n*World Premiere* \nAfter years of silence\, a woman returns to a memory she was once forbidden to recall. As she develops forgotten images\, the past surfaces in fragments of light\, grain\, and the slow emergence of a face. The film lingers between past and present\, exploring whether enforced silence can wound more deeply than the trauma itself. \n \nEighteen Mill Street\nJosh Weissbach | SWEDEN | 14 min \nEIGHTEEN MILL STREET introduces Ukrainian artists Marianna Tarish and Nikita Gryshko soon after their relocation to Sweden because of the Russian invasion of  Ukraine. The film explores Tarish and Gryshko’s relationships to intimate spaces and how they have been impacted due to their experiences at the start of the war while still living in the Ukrainian city of Kherson and as part of their journey to Sweden. \n \nListen \nMalakye Tsosie ⋅ USA ⋅ 16 min \nThere are fewer fluent speakers of Díne Bizaad (the Navajo Language) on the Navajo Nation. \nDespite this\, there is hope for the future\, thanks to a local radio station that broadcasts in Navajo to thousands of listeners every day. Notably\, the director embarks on a journey that highlights the language’s resilience\, encountering revitalization efforts on the reservation and finding hope for future generations to protect it. \n \nAXOMAMA \nTracy Valcárcel | CANADA | 26 min \nAXOMAMA follows the life of Alberto and his relatives\, a family of potato custodians in the Peruvian Andes. The film weaves a parallel between the potato’s journey and the narrator’s complex tracing of her own origins\, grappling with questions of identity and belonging. From a sacred tuber to one of the world’s most ubiquitous foods\, the humble potato emerges as both metaphor and mirror of resistance in the face of survived displacement. \n \nFragment on War\nNikolas Candido | BRAZIL | 15 min \nSinger-songwriter Cassidy Waring has long used music to process trauma. Now\, as she prepares to release If I Had Only Been Better\, an album inspired by her past\, she returns to Calgary to confront the family tragedy that shaped her life. Joined by her younger brother\, she seeks answers from those who knew their family. Blending raw conversations\, home videos\, and music\, Hearse Chasing explores grief\, resilience\, and the healing power of art. \nAbout the Directors\n \nDarya Maljesi\nI came to cinema through documentary\, where my language began to take form in the encounter with the real. The movement between reality\, imagination\, and history mirrors how I experience the world as embodied\, unstable\, and deeply felt. Drawing from theatre and nonfiction practice\, I work with memory\, witnessing\, and fragile images to explore how personal experience intersects with political and emotional landscapes. \nFilmmaking\, for me\, is not just an art form but a way of staying alive to the world \, a sensory and ethical practice of attention\, intimacy\, and becoming. \n \nJosh Weissbach\nJosh Weissbach is an experimental filmmaker. His films have been shown worldwide in such venues as Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Light Field\, Courtisane Festival\, European Media Art Festival\, 25 FPS Festival\, First Look at Museum of the Moving Image\, Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival\, Festival dei Popoli\, and Festival des Cinémas Différents et Expérimentaux de Paris. He has won jury prizes at Ithaca Experimental\, Montreal Underground\, Videoex\, ICDOCS\, Onion City Experimental Film and Video Festival\, and Berlin Revolution Film Festival. He is the recipient of a 2021 Artistic Excellence Award from the Connecticut Office of the Arts\, a 2020 Moving Image Fund Early Development Grant from the LEF Foundation\, a 2018 LightPress Grant from the Interbay Cinema Society\, a 2015 LEF Fellowship from the Robert Flaherty Film Seminar\, a 2013 Mary L. Nohl Fellowship for Emerging Artists from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation\, and a 2008 Cary Grant Film Award from the Princess Grace Foundation-USA. A selection of Josh’s films is in distribution at Light Cone in Paris\, France. \n \nMalakye Tsosie\nMalakye Tsosie\, who is from the Navajo Nation\, aims to tell honest\, unapologetic stories that reflect his cultural identity. He wants to join a group of storytellers who honor and connect with people’s stories and truths. \n \nTracy Valcárcel\nAXOMAMA follows the life of Alberto and his relatives\, a family of potato custodians in the Peruvian Andes. The film weaves a parallel between the potato’s journey and the narrator’s complex tracing of her own origins\, grappling with questions of identity and belonging. From a sacred tuber to one of the world’s most ubiquitous foods\, the humble potato emerges as both metaphor and mirror of resistance in the face of survived displacement. \n \nNikolas Candido\nNikolas Candido (born 1991\, Brazil) is a filmmaker and writer who graduated from the International School of Cinema and Television in Cuba (EICTV). He studied comparative literature at the University of Geneva in Switzerland\, where he taught Super 8 courses.

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: Canada's Missing of the Great War 1914-1918 and Modern Discovery
DESCRIPTION:The announcements\, once infrequent\, are a monthly occurrence now. It is a sad or pleasing reality depending on your perspective\, that after more than a century\, the fields of France and Belgium are surrendering an increasing number of Canadian soldiers of the Great War. It was inevitable with the expansion of housing and industry into the old battlefields combined with large infrastructure projects that cut through the heart of battlefields where intense fighting once took place. \nThrough writing and research\, Glenn Kerr seeks to shine a light into a chapter of Canadian and Commonwealth history where the soldiers and closest loved ones can no longer speak for themselves. How is our modern world dealing with these new logistical challenges and the endless sensitive considerations for soldiers whose closest family members have also passed into memory? More than a century after the Armistice\, the missing of the Great War have reappeared in modern memory and their descendants are waiting and watching as protectorates of that memory. \nDoors open at 6:30 p.m. and the presentation starts at 7 p.m.\, followed by a question period. \nThe lecture premieres in-person at the Civic Museum. The recorded conversation will be available on YouTube\, and our Museum Everywhere Portal. Guelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada. \nAbout Glenn Kerr\n \nChairman of the Central Ontario Branch of the Western Front Association \nNational Award-Winning Freelance Historical Writer and Researcher \nAwarded the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers by the Governor General of Canada for historical contributions to Canada and connecting families with their past. \nEditor and Publisher of Maple Leaf Magazine -An internationally circulated periodical devoted to Canada’s legacy of sacrifice and achievement during the First World War and beyond. \nBattlefield explorer.
