Welcome shimby!
EPFC | August 2nd, 2021
Hagere Selam “shimby” Zegeye-Gebrehiwot (they/them, she/her) is an experimental filmmaker, writer and administrator who currently works and resides between Treaty 1 and Treaty 4 territories. Their practice engages with themes of place and it’s abstraction from a diasporic, queer and feminist perspective. Currently, they are the Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Filmpool Cooperative, Interim Director of WNDX Festival of Moving Image and guest editor of the 6th and final art&wonder publication.
While in residence at EPFC North, they will work on a forthcoming 16mm project entitled Autonomous Uncle, experiment with eco processing analog film and have a screening of some new and old work.
