Marie Clements is one of the most visionary and astonishing storytellers working in Vancouver today. Whether it’s with documentaries like The Road Forward (which used musical numbers and moving interviews to tell the story of the Native Voice newspaper), or her libretto for Missing, the chamber opera that amplified the stories of murdered and missing Indigenous women, Marie’s aim is to imprint stories on her audiences. Marie’s latest is Red Snow – and on the surface, it’s tonally and thematically different from her previous work. It’s a moving and at times violent drama about a Gwich'in soldier serving in the Canadian Army who is captured by the Taliban. Red Snow is about love, and children, and faith, and the different faces of colonialism. It’s about survival, and language, and snow. It’s heart pounding. It’s glorious. It’s astonishing. In short, Red Snow is textbook Marie Clements. On the eve of Red Snow’s theatrical release, Marie Clements joins Sabrina Furminger in the YVR Screen Scene studio to talk about her film, and what she’d like audiences to think about while the end credits roll.
