Islands of Vertigo

Les îsles du vertige (Islands of Vertigo) is a short film featuring a striking and colourful array of characters and scenes that were shot over the course of a month-long residency in Georgian Bay, Ontario. From the creases of this rich textured landscape, comes a visceral and dynamic discourse on gender and sexuality. Charged with both the beauty, and the darkness surrounding LGBTQ+ history, this work leans into both subtlety and absurdity in its effort to explore the multiplicity and subjectivity of Queer identities through embodied expression.
