FUTURE WORLDS

2026 | Workshop + Digital Video

Created specifically for Yukon youth as part of the Available Light Film Festival, the Future Worlds: Green Screen & Filmmaking Workshops invited participants to imagine new worlds through storytelling, collage, performance, green-screen video, and music. Working collaboratively, participants created short films that combined handmade landscapes with original performances and sound design, all produced on site at the festival. The resulting films bring their anxieties, monsters, fantasies, silliness, and hopes for the future to the screen. The workshops were designed to introduce participants to both new and traditional creative technologies, and encourage storytelling through art.

This workshop was created and led by Christina Dovolis, Luka Kuplowsky, and Mary Bunch, and is part of a larger workshop series within the Pluriversal Worlding with Extended Reality project, jointly led by Mary Bunch and Dolleen Tisawii’ashii Manning. Through media arts, the project explores the decolonial idea that the world is made up of many worlds, that worldviews shape reality, and that all forms of existence are interconnected. The resulting films were directed and edited by Christina Dovolis and Luka Kuplowsky.

Future Worlds: Green Screen & Filmmaking Workshops is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanites Research Council (SSHRC), Yukon Film Society, Screen Production Yukon Association, Telefilm Canada, Canada Media Fund, and Available Light Film Festival.
