Let me wrap my arms around you. I will be the dense, soft fog that moves quietly up behind you and envelopes you in its thick soft blanket. Dive down and I will close around you.” A meditation on love, loss, alienation, and cultural identity set in a tiny Inuit hamlet. When a young couple moves from a large urban centre to a little hamlet in the Canadian Arctic they begin to question their relationship with each other but also with the world they’ve left behind. A strikingly beautiful look at a way of living that no longer exists, LET ME WRAP MY ARMS AROUND YOU combines archival super 8 with 16mm film in a richly textured story. “…an exceptionally intelligent, moving and informative film, not least because it packs so much into such a short time. …a spiritual and emotional odyssey, but it is also a cross-cultural and geographical journey with a richness of ideas all too rare…” John Haslett Cuff, The Globe and Mail “This accessible, intensely personal film is sad, chilly and sometimes so constricting that one clutches the chest and breathes deeply. The obsessive-possessive single-mindedness of love is conveyed with a cool well-written script and dense images.” Patricia Thompson, Take One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc1fcc190f904554ccd6088/1539442660944-GO0MG1SF3IRD90BNHXRN/image-asset.jpeg Films - NORTHBOUND CAIRO A family of four takes a hip young couple along on a week-end drive to the cottage. Along the way they eat, talk and theorize on life, art and love. A comedic journey using a series of exotic travelogues as background all filmed using front screen projection. “An inventive, enigmatic, and frequently funny work.” “This deadpan, denaturalized comedy takes on art, commerce, desire, gender conflict and the nature of fiction itself.” Geoff Pevere, The Toronto Star “… a fascinating short experimental film that playfully tortures us with one of those dreaded family pilgrimages to Dad’s summer retreat. …the road trip from hell in which everything uttered means the world…and no one hears a thing. A delicious depiction of the darker side of expression.” Karen Walton, The Edmonton Bullet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc1fcc190f904554ccd6088/1539442727721-OTM8HOZ9AOTCDH67NZKP/image-asset.jpeg Films - NOTHING BY MOUTH A visual response to three poems by author Karen MacCormack. Each of the pieces utilizes a different interpretive manner in dealing with themes of: the fear of intimacy within relationships, the trauma of hospitalization, and loneliness. Original soundtrack by Walter Yarwood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc1fcc190f904554ccd6088/1544673628996-03OKXWMRF2O3J9DHHRED/Beuys150.jpg Films https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc1fcc190f904554ccd6088/1552841619943-ZNS6Y2YQ8YUIYPKNXOFY/image-asset.jpeg Films - A DIALOGUE WITH VISION: THE ART OF SPRING HURLBUT AND JUDITH SCHWARZ A film that reveals the artistic process that two women artists experience on their journeys through the making of large sculptural installation works. Judith Schwarz pounds steel and wood into delicate forms. Spring Hurlbut sculpts large plaster columns with her bare hands. Beautifully shot, the film explores the raison d’etre for decisions made and the sources of inspiration behind the artwork. Watching these two women construct large artworks using steel, wood and their bare hands is uniquely inspirational. “Mangaard’s flawless cinematic interpretation glides with their progress: …From inspiration to realization… an excellent presentation of the drive to produce.” Karen Walton, The Edmonton Bullet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc1fcc190f904554ccd6088/1539440584590-N34APZ9EY1PB66MB2HS5/Suzy+Lake.png Films - SUZY LAKE: PLAYING WITH TIME A feature length documentary on photographer Suzy Lake, one of the seminal feminist artists to evolve out of the heyday of the 1960’s. A master of the art of self-portraiture, Lake influenced Cindy Sherman as well as a host of other female photographers. Lake makes art that addresses politics, gender and issues of youth, beauty and aging while reflecting on her own journey through time. Interviews with Lucy Lippard, Connie Butler, Mary Beth Edelson, Françoise Sullivan, Martha Wilson, Barbara Astman and Lisa Steele tell a story of how much has changed in the worlds of feminism and art and yet how much things remain the same. Born in 1947 in Detroit, Michigan, Lake became active in the civil rights and anti-war movement in the 1960’s. In 1968, after witnessing the Detroit riots, she immigrated to Canada, settling in Montreal where she joined the burgeoning artistic community. It was the time of ‘Conceptual Art’, ‘Body Art’ and ‘Performance Art’, all movements informed by the politics of liberation, feminism and the anti-war movement. Today, Suzy Lake continues to explore the politics of gender with work that deals with the aging woman, countering notions of consumer beauty with a different and real image celebrating stamina, maturity and experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc1fcc190f904554ccd6088/1555973263678-45232OJMFSGT1F0SVU9R/kinngait+2.jpg Films https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc1fcc190f904554ccd6088/1699734228748-CXJRA5NIEQHP9SVVI8E0/image-asset.jpeg Films https://www.annettemangaard.com/installation daily 0.75 2025-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc1fcc190f904554ccd6088/1540175329789-SIC1SAYGTWX2E8550CVP/image-asset.jpeg Installation - WET DREAM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc1fcc190f904554ccd6088/1540175105075-L99KZAI4A2LP2A6G6SIG/image-asset.jpeg Installation - TAKE ME TO THE RIVER In Patagonia, I scale the Tronador Glacier. The trail is hot, dusty, difficult and being largely vertical near impossible. All compounded by having to carry an enormous pack with sleeping bag, food, water and camera equipment. The summit rewards me with a breath-taking view of the Andes as well as a clear, cold stream of water pouring steadily from the mouth of the glacier. The supply appears endless. In Cape Dorset, Baffin Island, I stare out at the bay. It is late November and the water has not frozen as it usually does. Without solid ice beneath their feet the hunters of the tiny community are landlocked, unable to travel by either ski-do or boat. For the local Inuit people it is significant. There will be no traditional food until the water freezes over. In the outback of Australia recent high rainfalls have transformed the dry red earth into a green desert. An elder from the Darling tribe shows me the mysterious Menindee Lakes, flooded for the first time in a decade. We stroll to a nearby riverbed that normally rushes with muddy water, but see only dry, cracked, red earth. The eerie cries of the river birds echo overhead. On the northeast coast, I board a riverboat in Daintree, moving upstream from the Pacific and the Great Barrier Reef. On a slow leisurely ride I feel the water’s pulse beneath me and I ponder the future of the earth….
