ALMOST
FORGOT MY BONES (2004)
A videopoem by Katrin Bowen (Director) featuring Tanya Evanson (Writer,
Performer)We
define ourselves through various means -
geography, language, profession - no matter how satisfied we are within
these boundaries, when one moves from a place and settles in another,
there is always a period of re-examination.In this videopoem, the
narrator must learn that we are all reflections
of each other and that what we really seek in others is a mirror of
ourselves: a pure heart that goes beyond the colour of skin. Once the
narrator is awakened, she finds pride in her cultural heritage and her
community. Thanks to a film grant from the Canada Council for the Arts,
this
award-winning short film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May
15, 2004 at the Short Film Corner and has been shown at festivals in
Canada, U.S. and Mexico.
