ReFrame Film Festival, a Peterborough-based festival focusing on documentary film and media art, has hired a new Creative Director for its upcoming seasons. Eryn Lidster began her position with ReFrame on May 1.<\/p>\n
As one of two core staff at ReFrame, the creative director\u2019s role involves building the lineup of films that are to be played throughout the January festival.<\/p>\n
Lidster has been heavily involved in Peterborough\u2019s Arts community since moving back to Peterborough in 2016. She began working tech at The Theatre On King, and has since been involved with multiple local arts projects and organizations such as Artspace and Public Energy Performing Arts.<\/p>\n
Lidster\u2019s experience working with film started during her time attending Trent University in the Cultural Studies Department.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Kelly Egan, and the programs that she\u2019s running there in experimental and documentary filmmaking. [\u2026] It felt like a couple things converging between experiencing learning around traditional, material-based, filmmaking at the University, but also the kind of work I ended up doing with the theatre community in documentation and videography,\u201d said Lidster.<\/p>\n
In recent years, the ReFrame Film Festival has transitioned into a primarily virtual festival. Lidster, along with all of the staff and volunteers at ReFrame, are still working out what this year\u2019s festival is going to look like, but it will likely be both in-person and online.<\/p>\n
\u201cI imagine that we\u2019ll have some films online, with most of the films, if not all of the films, in person,\u201d said Lidster.<\/p>\n
ReFrame is currently accepting film submissions for the January festival. To learn more, visit reframefilmfestival.ca.<\/p>\n
