artist in residence
amanda dawn christie
During her residency at Millennium Film Workshop, Christie will present two film screenings of her work, she will work on editing a 90 minute experimental landscape film, and she will perform a “listening tour” in which she will act as a consultant for MFW during this time of transition.
As a part of her listening tour, she will be meeting with members of the NYC filmmaking community (members and non-members of MFW, including both organizations and individuals). She will synthesize the feedback from the film community about Millennium’s past 50 years, its present situation, and its potential future into a report with recommendations for moving forward, and a strategic plan that the board and new director may then use in moving forward into the new millennium. An artbook or zine of drawings, diagrams, timelines, lists, and notes may also result from the listening.

Thursday Nov. 19 at 7:30pm
Temporary Storage Gallery
at Brooklyn Fire Proof
An experimental documentary film about the Radio Canada International shortwave radio towers. A mysterious web of radio towers dominates the Tantramar marshscape. Meanwhile, local residents heard radio broadcasts emanate unexpectedly from their household appliances. After beginning this film, the Canadian government announced that the RCI site would be shut down and dismantled. As such, a final chapter was added to this film, which documents the dismantling of the historic site. Multilingual stories from residents are overlayed on landscape imagery filmed on 35mm over 4 seasons. The final chapter of the film shows the demolition of the site accompanied by a haunting soundtrack made by placing handmade contact microphones on the radio towers.

The screening of this work in progress will be followed by a Q & A feedback session.

Amanda Dawn Christie is an interdisciplinary artist from Canada, working in film, video, performance, photography, and electroacoustic sound design. She has exhibited and performed in art galleries across Canada, and her films have screened internationally. She was the 2014 Atlantic finalist for the Canadian National Media Art prize, and recently had a 10 year retrospective exhibition of her work curated by Mireille Bourgeois, at the Galerie d’art Louise et Reuben Cohen, and was also included in the Marion McCain Biennale of Atlantic Contemporary Art, curated by Corinna Ghaznavi. Since 1997, she has been actively involved with artist run centres, in both volunteer and staff positions: serving on various boards, working as both a technician and later as a director, teaching workshops, publishing articles, and serving on juries across Canada. She completed her MFA at the SFU School for the Contemporary Arts in Vancouver, before moving to Amsterdam. Upon her return to Canada she worked at the Faucet Media Arts Centre & Struts Gallery. She later worked as the director of the Galerie Sans Nom and the RE:FLUX festival of music. She left the GSN last year to work full time as an artist with the support of a new media creation grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. Concepts and themes explored in her work focus primarily on the relationship between the human body and analogue technology in a digital age. Her residency at Millenium Film Workshop is made possible through the support of Arts NB.
