PAYHOO - Nadine Arpin & Diane McGrath Lokos

“‘Payhoo’ is an experimental short film which blends seemingly opposing perspectives; a view of Northwestern Ontario landscape after a rain and a dynamic aerial performer. Through the juxtaposition of slow-motion reels, we suggest the illusion of colliding worlds moving through space. The colours of the medicine wheel remind us of the cycles of life.  The use of heritage languages (Celtic, Michif) as both a visual and text, anchors the piece with our ancestors. ”
