Ransom Notes
Synopsis
The filmmaker's response to her experience of the hijacking of her city during the Toronto G20 Summit, "Ransom Notes" re-appropriates language and meaning through the act of collage. The film combines new and old media (film, newsprint, print-outs of twitter feeds) to explore social mobilization through mass media. The soundtrack of the film was created by placing letters, words and sentences directly on the optical soundtrack.
