Ransom Notes

Overview

The filmmaker's response to her experience of the hijacking of her city during the Toronto G20 Summit, "Ransom Notes" re-appropriates language and meaning through the act of collage. The film combines new and old media (film, newsprint, print-outs of twitter feeds) to explore social mobilization through mass media. The soundtrack of the film was created by placing letters, words and sentences directly on the optical soundtrack.

Directed by Kelly Egan
