No Man Can Define Me: The Films of Winston Washington Moxam (DVD & Catalogue combo)

February 1, 2013 – The Winnipeg Film Group is pleased to present the first DVD release and retrospective of the films of Winston Washington Moxam (1963-2011).

Moxam is, to date, the most significant black filmmaker to emerge from Manitoba. His independent body of work spans two decades, from 1989 to 2010, and includes short fiction, documentary, and two features. All of these works address issues of race, racism and social justice, and significantly reflect the experience of living in Winnipeg and Manitoba.

This interpretive catalogue contains contextual essays and personal considerations by Scott Birdwise, Daniel Eskin and Matthew Rankin, and includes a filmography and photographs of Moxam at work as well as stills from his films.

The DVD features new transfers directly from the 16mm prints:
