  • Falls Around Her
    Baswewe Films and The Film Farm Present FALLS AROUND HER Starring Tantoo Cardinal Written and Directed by Darlene Naponse PRESS KIT SYNOPSIS Falls Around Her follows Mary Birchbark (Tantoo Cardinal), a legendary singer who returns to the vast wilderness of her reserve to reconnect with the land and her community. Mary begins to sense that someone might be watching her. Unsure of what is real and what is imagined, Mary embraces isolation as she explores the psychological impact of her past and present. PRODUCTION NOTES Work and Walk in a Good Way Honour the Seven Grandfathers teachings: Honesty – Wisdom – Respect – Bravery – Humility – Truth – Love Those words and several others would accompany Falls Around Her’s first callsheet and would be included in every callsheet during the shoot. For the Anishinaabe people, the Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers is a set of teachings on human conduct toward others. As film crews employ many people from several different backgrounds, it’s a daily reminder to treat all creation with respect. And cast and crew took those words to heart every day and it contributed to a joyful set. Even more amazing given that there was a mix of crew of indigenous and non-indigenous people. The crew for Falls Around Her became an amalgamation of Toronto and Atikameksheng Anishnawbek/Sudbury/North Bay crews along with many indigenous locals. For the locals, it was the biggest production to ever have its home base on the reservation, and they were prepared for the challenge and the collective hard work of all is reflected on-screen.

  • 1 PRESIDENT's REPORT: September 27, 2016 GENERAL First-Day
    PRESIDENT'S REPORT: September 27, 2016 GENERAL First-day enrolment for the University of Manitoba remained high for fall term 2016, with reported enrolment for the first day of classes of 29,620 students. This is the second-highest enrolment in the history of the University, and the fourth year in a row that enrolment has exceeded 29,000 students as of the first day of class. On September 9, Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) at the University of Manitoba announced that Mr. Downie will be releasing The Secret Path, a multi-media project inspired by the story of 12-year-old Chanie Wenjack, who died in 1966 while attempting to return home from a Residential School. Mr. Downie will be donating the proceeds from this project to the NCTR to support its work in honouring the stories of Residential School Survivors. Homecoming 2016 took place September 19-25 and welcomed our alumni and friends back to campus for a weeklong celebration. This year there were over 30 events planned, and the entire University of Manitoba community was encouraged to get involved. In addition to a series of traditionally-held events that included the Homecoming Football Game and Dinner and the Chancellor’s tea, a Visionary Conversations evening, moderated by the President, was held featuring several prominent speakers, including Ms. Nahanni Fontaine, Ms. Tina Keeper, Mr. Ry Moran and Mr. Lenard Monkman, on the topic “Reconciliation: What needs to happen next?”. In addition, the University hosted Queers, Cheers and Homecoming Years, its first-ever UMqueer alumni event, which offered an opportunity to connect with fellow alumni and engage in conversation around LGBTTQI* issues and perspectives.

LOGLINE Mohawk Girls is a half hour dramatic comedy about four young women figuring out how to be Mohawk in the21st century. SYNOPSIS - SHORT What does it mean to be a modern day Mohawk woman? Mohawk Girls is a half hour dramatic comedy about four young women trying to figure out the answer. But with their parents, friends, community, and even their garbage man having an opinion, it’s an impossible task. SYNOPSIS - LONG Mohawk Girls centers around four twenty-something Mohawk women trying to find their place in the world, and of course, trying to find love. But in a small world where you or your friends have dated everyone on the rez, or the hot new guy turns out to be your cousin, it ain’t that simple. Torn between family pressure, tradition, obligation and the intoxicating freedom of the “outside world,” this fabulous foursome is on a mission to find happiness… and to find themselves. Bailey, 29, wants to be the “perfect” Mohawk. Everyone in her life seems to have a strong idea of what that means and she tries to live by their rules and meet their expectations. Unfortunately her heart starts taking her in very different directions and she finds herself having to constantly choose between her own happiness and everyone else’s. Caitlin, 27, is a full-figured sex-bomb who flaunts what god gave her and flirts with all the boys, even when she shouldn’t.
