The Black Lodge goes international

Posted by The WFG on May 24, 2011

In 2010, the Winnipeg Film Group sent three Winnipeg filmmakers – Jaimz Asmundson, Jeffrey Erbach and Danishka Esterhazy – for an international residency at our  sister organization in Germany, the Kölner Filmhaus. In May 2011, three Cologne filmmakers came to Winnipeg in turn, to produce work and to connect with the local filmmaking community.

For the past two weeks, our international filmmakers-in-residence Teresa Hayer, Svetlana Postnova and Wilda Wahnwitz have been working around our production centre facilities, including The Black Lodge, and all over Winnipeg working on several film projects.

We’re now waiting with baited breath to be able to see their finished projects in the upcoming year!

WHITE WALLS IN A BLACK ROOM

We’ve been busy painting The Black Lodge over the past several weeks. First, it’s been painted from top to bottom – most walls in black, but the back wall remains a blue chroma.

Now, we’re making white gallery walls to house Malena Szlam Salazar’s Chronogram of Inexistent Time installation, which will go up in the next week, in time for its opening during WNDX.

As we’re prepping The Black Lodge at the same time as getting ready for three back-to-back outdoor cinema programs in two different locations as part of the Nuit Blanche / Culture Days celebrations, Arlea was overheard saying, “the title of this installation is very appropriate.”
