Created by Christa Couture and produced by Michelle St. John, How to Lose Everything connects dots of loss, reprieve, and hope from personal experiences to our most universal: grief and, ultimately, love at its centre. The Indigenous team of writers, animators, directors and composers represent Cree, Ojibwe, Ktunaxa, Inuit, Chippewa, Potawatomi, Atikamekw, and Métis nations.

How Elegance Bratton turned his experience as a gay Marine into the harrowing film The Inspection CBC Arts 2023-01-13 | In this edition of our series Here & Queer, filmmaker Elegance Bratton sits down with host Peter Knegt to talk about turning his trauma into the award-winning movie The Inspection.Watch more Here & Queer: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoRdH3LAgmi9A6DvgPq8eFzc8HIH0j5mS While filmmakers often choose to draw from the story of their own life for their feature film debuts, few have quite so much to work with as Elegance Bratton.Kicked out of his mother's New Jersey home at the age of 16 for being gay, Bratton was homeless for nearly a decade before deciding to join the Marines, where he would end up serving as a combat cameraman. The latter experience gave him the initial tools that led to his career in filmmaking — but his time in the military also serves as the premise for The Inspection, Bratton's acclaimed film about a young gay man (Jeremy Pope, who has already been nominated for a Golden Globe and a Spirit Award for his performance) struggling to survive boot camp in the era of "don't ask, don't tell."Bratton — who has been nominated for a Spirit Award for best first feature for the film — stopped by the Here & Queer set to talk about his experience making the film, how it serves as a complicated tribute to his late mother, and what it's been like promoting it through awards season.

LGBTQ culture in 2022: Were here, were queer and were everywhere, dear | Here & Queer CBC Arts 2022-12-23 | Being visibly and openly #queer was (still, somehow) a very dangerous thing to be for a lot of people in this world in 2022.

In Hurricane, a young woman musters the strength to overcome fear and anxiety CBC Arts 2022-11-15 | In Dreams in Vantablack, 12 Black youth poets reach within to make sense of a world that has often silenced them. As the animated poems unravel, viewers get a front row seat to the beautiful, complex and inspiring dreams of these young writers. Aaliyah Aden has spent most of her life grappling with her identity as a biracial person. Her poetry explores this along with her struggle with mental health, which started appearing in elementary school through a series of panic attacks. She would overthink the most mundane moments, and her mind would spiral. It wasn't until she went to a therapist that she began to successfully manage her anxiety. Her poem, 'Hurricane', animated by Jonathan Ng, explores the torment of fear and anxiety and how she musters the strength to overcome it.»Subscribe to CBC Arts to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/CBCArtsSubscribe About Dreams in Vantablack:Dreams in Vantablack is a twelve-part animated series, journeying through the dreams, heartaches and futures of Black youth poets from across the province of Ontario. The young writers invite audiences into embodied and fantastical experiences of their identity, exploring issues like bullying, racism, mental health, loss and love. As each poem unfolds, an animated dramatisation of the words do too; blending lived experiences with magic realism. Each poet explores moments of pain but also triumph, success, and instances that built character and pride. Developed in a UK lab, the colour Vantablack is the darkest shade of black, so dark that when painted on an object it disappears into shadows; much like the voices of many Black youth living in Canada. These youth have found the power of their voice through poetry, allowing them to embrace the strength, history and honour of their identities. When they dream, they envision a world without injustice and see themselves as global citizens, agents of change, catalysts for a better society. These are not stories of adversity; they are tales of growth, learning, a conjuring of beautifully brilliant dreams.

As the animated poems unravel, viewers get a front row seat to the beautiful, complex and inspiring dreams of these young writers. Akil Elijah brings deep emotion to his work and is finding his space in the world of modern rap, dance and fashion. In 2018, Akil's father became Toronto's 48th homicide victim. Murdered by a gun shot over a drug dispute Akil uses poetry to cope with this loss. He still searches for signs of his father in unusual places: the afternoon sky, his little brother's smile, a pocket of change. His poem, 'Angel Money', animated by Damien Dornford, is a brief snapshot of the distant yet profound relationship between father and son.»Subscribe to CBC Arts to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/CBCArtsSubscribeAbout Dreams in Vantablack:Dreams in Vantablack is a twelve-part animated series, journeying through the dreams, heartaches and futures of Black youth poets from across the province of Ontario.

A young girl plants herself in the ground and watches herself grow into her best self CBC Arts 2022-11-03 | In Dreams in Vantablack, 12 Black youth poets reach within to make sense of a world that has often silenced them. As the animated poems unravel, viewers get a front row seat to the beautiful, complex and inspiring dreams of these young writers. Ivy Black was born in Hamilton, Ontario but raised in Blythewood, South Carolina. She started singing and writing at a young age and dreams of becoming a recording artist. Ivy's closest friends describe her as tough, opinionated and strong; characteristics she felt forced to develop after being bullied for most of her childhood.

Her poem, 'Seed Cycle', illustrated by Troy Bernard and animated by Troy Bernard and Brandon Wright, follows a young girl who plants herself in order to watch herself grow into her best self. »Subscribe to CBC Arts to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/CBCArtsSubscribe About Dreams in Vantablack:Dreams in Vantablack is a twelve-part animated series, journeying through the dreams, heartaches and futures of Black youth poets from across the province of Ontario.

Morning Altars: To process grief, he makes beautiful earth art and lets nature wash it away CBC Arts 2022-10-22 | As a way of processing big emotions and marking significant moments in time, artist Day Schildkret is turning to the natural world to merge art-making with ritual. He calls his art "Morning Altars" — geometric-shaped impermanent earth altars made from various objects he finds in nature, such as leaves, flowers, feathers and stones.This practice started about a decade ago for Schildkret. He was experiencing back-to-back losses in his life: the death of his father and a massive breakup. While out for a walk with his dog, he was captivated by a cluster of amber-coloured mushrooms under a nearby eucalyptus tree. He collected them and began assembling them into what would become the first "Morning Altar."In this second instalment of our new series Natural Collaborators, we joined Schildkret near his then home on Salt Spring Island, BC as he walks the viewers through his seven-step process of creating a "Morning Altar" and discusses the significance of this art as a form of healing through change.Find out more about Day Schildkret's Morning Altars and the community that's grown up around them at: http://instagram.com/morningaltars and morningaltars.com »Subscribe to CBC Arts to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/CBCArtsSubscribe Find us at: http://cbc.ca/arts CBC Arts on Facebook: http://facebook.com/cbcarts CBC Arts on Twitter: http://twitter.com/cbcarts CBC Arts on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cbcarts About: Welcome to CBC Arts, your home for the most surprising, relevant and provocative stories featuring artists from diverse communities across Canada.

The young writers invite audiences into embodied and fantastical experiences of their identity, exploring issues like bullying, racism, mental health, loss and love. As each poem unfolds, an animated dramatisation of the words do too; blending lived experiences with magic realism. Each poet explores moments of pain but also triumph, success, and instances that built character and pride. Developed in a UK lab, the colour Vantablack is the darkest shade of black, so dark that when painted on an object it disappears into shadows; much like the voices of many Black youth living in Canada. These youth have found the power of their voice through poetry, allowing them to embrace the strength, history and honour of their identities. When they dream, they envision a world without injustice and see themselves as global citizens, agents of change, catalysts for a better society. These are not stories of adversity; they are tales of growth, learning, a conjuring of beautifully brilliant dreams.

A Polish folk festival became a lifeline for Ukrainians — with help from Canadian musicians CBC Arts 2022-07-15 | Folkowisko is a musical and cultural festival that typically takes place in July in the tiny Polish village of Gorajec on the Ukranian border. But when Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year, the festival's organizers decided to use their organizational skills and pivot to providing humanitarian aid to both refugees in Poland and internally displaced people inside Ukraine.In late March, Montreal violinist Nadia Monczak organized a benefit concert, Concert for Peace at the city's Notre-Dame Basilica, and donated the money to Folkowisko. In April, she went to Poland and Ukraine to see what the group was doing on the ground and to connect with fellow musicians in the Ukrainian city of Lviv. This video, by filmmaker Thomas Szacka-Marier, chronicles that journey. »Subscribe to CBC Arts to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/CBCArtsSubscribe Find us at: http://cbc.ca/arts CBC Arts on Facebook: http://facebook.com/cbcarts CBC Arts on Twitter: http://twitter.com/cbcarts CBC Arts on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cbcarts About: Welcome to CBC Arts, your home for the most surprising, relevant and provocative stories featuring artists from diverse communities across Canada.

All in Good Time: A guided ceremony of love, gratitude and release CBC Arts 2022-06-16 | Eve Krogman wasn't expecting to be as moved as she was by All in Good Time, an immersive art project being staged in Toronto as part of the Luminato festival. In the video she made for CBC's Creator Network about the experience, Eve is caught on camera, mid-ceremony, with tears in her eyes — a moment that was as surprising as it was comforting for her.Eve is a 26-year-old director and social media manager from Toronto who has been on a journey to improve her mental health. Solutions recommended by her doctor and therapist, like yoga and meditation, have largely fallen flat, feeding her skepticism about how much popular wellness practices are able to help her. (One exception, radically cutting down on screen time, was the subject of a previous video she did for CBC's Creator Network: youtube.com/watch?v=h7gfZhtkKkY). Watch the video above to see Eve's experience.Find out more about Eve's experience and about the remaining two All in Good Time sessions at Luminato Festival in Toronto this weekend (June 17th and June 19th, 2022) at: http://cbc.ca/1.6491412 »Subscribe to CBC Arts to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/CBCArtsSubscribe Find us at: http://cbc.ca/arts CBC Arts on Facebook: http://facebook.com/cbcarts CBC Arts on Twitter: http://twitter.com/cbcarts CBC Arts on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cbcarts About: Welcome to CBC Arts, your home for the most surprising, relevant and provocative stories featuring artists from diverse communities across Canada.
