Jennifer Baichwal in Regina with "Watermark"

Jennifer Baichwal and Mike Rollo

 Today our department was privileged to be able to host a visit by documentary director Jennifer Baichwal. She screened "The True Meaning of Pictures" and spoke with a large group of our students early this afternoon and then this evening screened her newest feature doc, "Watermarks" which she co-directed with acclaimed photographer Edward Burtynsky. The talk earlier related to many issues of representation, privilege, power, and stereotypes so will be certainly be a discussion continued in the next grad seminar since many of these issues have arisen recently.
