Asha and Road Siad won big with their National Film Board film 19 Days. SUPPLIED
The 2017 Rosie finalists
are in and Edmonton prizewinners include three nods for Niobe Thompson and
Rosvita Dransfeld’s organ-transplant documentary Memento Mori, three for NFB
short documentary 19 Days about refugee families, and the gender binary best performance
categories being taken by locals Carlee Tyski in On the Rocks and Jesse
Lipscombe for his role in It’s Not My Fault and I Don’t Care Anyway.
In 2015, Thompson won five Rosies for his The Great Human Odyssey,
which ran on CBC’s The Nature of Things.\
The National Film Board’s Memento Mori, which was filmed in part
in Canada’s busiest transplant centre at the University of Alberta Hospital,
saw the film crew privileged with tremendous access to literally life-and-death
situations, at times emotionally harrowing.
Asha Siad and Roda Siad’s documentary short 19 Days follows
refugees at the Margaret Chisholm Resettlement Centre in Calgary’s Bridgeland
neighbourhood through a federal-government program lasting the length of the
film’s name.

And directed by longtime
Edmonton theatre wizard Chris Craddock, It’s Not My Fault and I Don’t Care
Anyway recently won the $8,000 Edmonton Film Prize. The film was actor Alan
Thicke’s penultimate role, while Lipscombe is well known locally for turning a
racist encounter into the #makeitawkward movement, which was applauded by the
prime minister on Twitter.
Best Documentary Over 30 Minutes went to I Got Rhythm: The Science
of Song, produced by Connie Edwards and written by former Edmonton Journal
music writer Helen Metella. It’s a captivating look at cutting edge science and
theory linking music — especially played live — to help improve people’s
emotional states.
At the Alberta Film and Television Awards ceremony hosted by
actress Michelle Thrush Saturday night at the Shaw Conference Centre, final
word was given on the winners in 23 class categories awarded to productions and
33 craft categories awarded to individuals including directors, actors, editors
and composers.
Of the 56 categories, 35 went to Calgary productions, 19 to
Edmonton, one went Red Deer’s way and Best Short Dramatic went to the haunting
Gods Acre, directed by Fort Chipewyan’s Kelton Stepanowich
Surgeons removing organs at the University of Alberta’s Transplant Institute, seen in Memento Mori. SUPPLIED
Calgary’s wrestling
rom-com Chokeslam tied with 19 Days and the harrowing Memento Mori, the latter
netting Best Director, Best Editor and Best Overall Sound in the non-fiction
over 30-minutes categories. 19 Days’ awards are Best Documentary, produced by NFB’s
David Christenson; Asha Siad and Roda Siad for Best Screen Writer; and Paul
Mortimer as Best Editor — all in non-fiction under 30-minutes.
Fans of our local documentary ecosystem should be especially
proud.
