Ilisarniq Workshop: Film Editing

Yvonne Moorhouse is a multi-disciplinary artist and curator currently based in Red Deer, Alberta, and attends the Visual Art Program at Red Deer Polytechnic. Raised in England, Germany, and Labrador, she has gained an appreciation for the land and culture around her. Informed by geography and experience, Moorhouse’s latest work conveys and explores narratives of personal and global histories, pillars of personal identity, and sense of place. Moorhouse has worked as the Aboriginal Curatorial Practicum at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, where she curated the Inuit Art exhibition, "Tusagasualaugit. Try to Hear What They are Saying, Try to Listen". Yvonne is currently creating silver and ceramic jewellery, and working on printmaking processes regarding self and place. She holds a BA with honours from Carleton University in Art History, Canadian Studies, and Indigenous Studies.

Jennifer Qupanuaq May is an Inuk multi-disciplinary artist from Kuujjuaq, Quebec. She is currently attending Concordia University in Montreal and is contemplating to stick with Communications next fall or apply for a BA in Film Production. She is also the scheduling manager for Uvagut TV.

Jennie Williams is an Inuk visual artist, performing artist and self-taught filmmaker from Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador. As a professional photographer and filmmaker, she creates powerful images that convey the cultural landscape and lived experience of Inuit. In 2021, she wrote and directed a short documentary film called 'Nalujuk Night' with the National Film Board of Canada, which won Best Short Documentary - Atlantic International Film Festival, Best of Festival - Yorkton Film Festival, and Best Short Documentary - Canadian Screen Awards, to name a few. Her work seeks to introduce others to the world she has known her whole life, yet is little understood. This exploration helps her engage more deeply with her own Inuit heritage and her desire to preserve this knowledge for future generations.
