Mobilize

Caroline Monet's short film Mobilize flows seamlessly through the rushing waterways of the far north parallel to the fast-paced urban south, witnessing the hasty streets of a city and the charging force of a canoe on water. In tandem with the heartbeat of Tanya Tagaq’s UJA, brilliant imagery of intricate expertise and knowledge are displayed against the contrast and nearness of rushing and stillness.
