Internationally acclaimed directors Dominique Cardona and Laurie Colbert, who have won over audiences and critics with their signature ability to combine feminist activism with compelling storytelling, continue to use film as a medium for sharing the global truth of women’s lives.

Their honest, accessible style can be seen in the recent drama MARGARITA, which played at the Palm Springs International Film Festival (Gay!La Hers) and won the Audience Award at Toronto’s Inside/Out Film Festival. The film has been lauded as both “a potent cocktail of heart, humour and humanity” (Sight and Sound) and “a crowd-pleasing gem” (So So Gay).

The directing team’s first feature, FINN’S GIRL, screened at Outfest: Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, where it won the Outstanding Emerging Talent Award. Variety endorsed it as “an intelligent juggling of disparate elements including pubescent unrest, single parenting, lesbian widowhood and anti-abortionist violence” and The Vancouver Sun applauded a “taboo-busting piece of cinema”.

Their first short dramatic film, BELOW THE BELT, was selected for both the Berlin International Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival and nominated for a Genie (the Canadian Oscar equivalent). Cinemascope called it a “story of first love, captured perfectly in all its naïveté and confusion.”

Cardona and Colbert’s documentary THANK GOD I’M A LESBIAN, featuring Dionne Brand, Julia Creet, and Lee Pui Ming, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival before a successful tour of over 100 festivals worldwide. A “snappy, intelligent spielfest” (Variety), the film has won numerous accolades, including Audience Awards at Créteil International Women’s Film Fest and Torino Gay and Lesbian Film Fest.

Ithaca College’s Patricia Zimmerman described it as “empowering, edifying, mobilising.” Still considered ‘must watches’ in many women’s studies curricula, both films are included in the collections of Stanford University and many other prestigious archives.
