Cheyanne Turions
Formally trained as a philosopher, cheyanne turions is a Vancouver-based programmer/curator of film, video and language. A fervent believer in independent scholarship, she actively pursues intellectual engagement via non-institutionalized routes. As such, she facilitates a monthly out-loud reading group entitled Thought on Film whose aim is to promote critical thought around film product and practice through community-based discussions. She also regularly hosts salons to encourage meaningful, sustained dialogue surrounding individual creative practices and artistic communities. Her own work tends to centre around intimate collaborations with gross conflicts of interest. Tangibly manifested, this has taken myriad forms: creative non-fiction, elaborate dinner parties, love letters, production manager, music director, and currently, Programs Manager at Cineworks Independent Filmmakers Society.
