    Decades Under the Affluence: Lauren Greenfield discusses Generation Wealth

    by Andrew Parker July 26, 2018
    by Andrew Parker July 26, 2018

    Photographer and filmmaker Lauren Greenfield has spent most of her professional career documenting people living affluent or outlandishly wealthy lifestyles, and with her latest feature film, Generation Wealth (opening in Toronto and Vancouver this Friday), she’s finally asking herself why that is.

    Toronto’s immigrant filmmakers show reality of cultural mosaic

    by Manori Ravindran April 14, 2013
    by Manori Ravindran April 14, 2013

    Whether it’s the African family happily reuniting over Tim Horton’s coffee or the glossy magazine rankings of successful émigrés, narratives about the immigrant experience permeate Canadian media and popular culture.

    The Raindance movement

    by Christopher Heard March 13, 2013
    by Christopher Heard March 13, 2013

    When one hears or read the term “independent cinema” it is interpreted–depending on the person and their frame of reference–in any number of ways.

    There’s a certain safety to making a film culled from the ether of imagined reality. Your idiosyncratic characters are sewn together from the mist of imagination so there’s less risk of real people becoming insulted, angry, hurt, litigious or even homicidal as a result of your fictional film. For some strange reason, I decided to stray from those sheltered waters recently by writing a new narrative film based on the life of my grandfather, David Karr.
