Finnish filmmaker Katja Gauriloff has had quite a run this year. Her first feature length documentary film Canned Dreams had its international premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year, where ImagineNATIVE Film +Media Arts Festival's Jason Ryle first saw the film and was "completely blown away."
Gauriloff, a Sami filmmaker, presented her last work at Toronto's ImagineNATIVE festival back in 2008. A Shout into the Wind followed the lives of the Skolt Sami people, an endangered people trying to survive and striving to hold onto their indigenous lifestyle in the harsh climate of northern Finland. This verité documentary was her first foray into this genre, and her fourth film. It is an evocative and thought-provoking reflection on the struggle of indigenous peoples striking the balance between traditional and modern life.
Gauriloff, 40, was born in Inari, Northern Lapland, where her grandmother is a famous Skolt Sami traditional storyteller. She studied film directing at the Tampere University of Applied Sciences, School of Art and Media and has been involved in filmmaking for over 14 years.
Her latest feature documentary Canned Dreams screened at Hot Docs earlier this spring and Hot Docs is co-presenting the film at the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival.
The film is an intense look at processed food and its levels of production. The gaze is neutral as the filmmaker travels across Europe and South America to show where every ingredient in a canned good comes from.
"If there was one film that I'd like to see again is Canned Dreams," says Ryle, executive director at ImagineNATIVE. "It's an incredible documentary, really masterfully made, and the content of the documentary is very current. It's a film that we can all relate to, but it's also something that we've never really considered before. I really like work that takes something everyday and completely flips it and makes us think about things that we never thought about, and that's what Canned Dreams does."
Canned Dreams will be screening Friday at 7:15 PM at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. For tickets and more information, please visit the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts site.
