Coach House, Green College, UBC and livestreamed
In this presentation, filmmaker and psychologist Jan Haaken discusses the methods behind her recent documentaries on climate resistance. She begins with background on how her documentary films grew out of her field studies and participatory action research (PAR) methods. Applying principles of PAR, the film project included collaborations with Indigenous communities at different phases of the production process. In this talk, she takes up the politics and psychology of documentary filmmaking, lessons from historical practices in ''extractive storytelling,'' and dilemmas that arose as this team of both non-Native and Native filmmakers set out to produce a story about allyship and creative legal strategies in the climate justice movement.
Tea and coffee will be available in the Piano Lounge at 4:30 pm.
