Junction North wraps with jury and audience awards

Sudbury Indie Cinema concluded its eighth edition of Junction North International Documentary Film Festival April 21, the largest edition of the dedicated documentary film festival, screening twice the number of films than last year while expanding to three screening venues in downtown Sudbury.

Quevedo said in a release that to receive the award is “to share with the public the need to reflect on cultural changes. It reflects being willing to listen to women who have remained silent; it is to find ourselves in our vulnerability as human beings and to think that we can build relationships of solidarity and mutual care.” Koostachin’s WaaPaKe was the most awarded with three in total. “WaaPake was a difficult truth to share, that it connects to Junction North is deeply moving.

Best Northern Ontario film: Waapake, and Dear friend: Where have you gone? by Englehart-born, but Toronto-based Nicholas Koscik Nicholas Koscik, the director of Dear Friend: Where have you gone? was able to bring the doc subject, Jayden Martin to Sudbury for the screening- his first time seeing the work with an audience on the big screen.

Of the win, Vaillancourt said: “I am thrilled to receive this Audience Choice Award at Junction North International Documentary Film Festival!
