ANTH 408 [2022]
The Critical Media Lab supports students in ANTH 408 and ANTH 555 with practical workshops in video, film and sound, as well as screenings and artists talks, all of which are essential resources for students to produce their own films and soundscapes.
An Urban Wild by Leo Stillinger
An Urban Wild is a small-scale ethnographic portrait of the Champs des Possibles, a former railway depot in Montreal's Mile End neighborhood which was abandoned by industry and quickly flourished into an ecosystem of its own. When the Champs was threatened with development, it was protected through the actions of a neighborhood citizens group, Les Amis du Champs des Possibles. Putting the history and politics of the Champs (as recounted by a volunteer member of Les Amis) into resonance with the sensory textures and materialities of the ecology itself, the film asks: what does urban wilderness really mean, and what does it feel like?
