Laura Marie Wayne is a musician, scholar and filmmaker from
Canada. In 2014, she was the first Canadian to graduate from cinema
school in Cuba (EICTV) where she has been trained intensively for
three years in documentaries. In 2015, she was selected by Hot Docs as
one of eight up and coming filmmakers in Canada.
<
Laura is currently directing her first feature length documentary in
Halifax with the National Film Board. Her works are characterized by
her propensity for self-reflection and by a continued exploration of
her own relationship to the natural world. Creating in the tradition
of auteur cinema, Laura’s films reflect a highly sensitive and
refreshingly clear cinematic voice and have been selected for festival
exhibition across Europe, North America and the Caribbean.

Water Washing Through Bones |

Water washing through bones is a series of hushed, contemplative
moments that reflect the existence of Eduardo Zamora (78), one of the
last remaining inhabitants of a dying mountain town in Cuba. A lone
moon burns in a black sky and the silence is laced with flowing water;
Eduardo’s world appears eternal and hypnotic but for his shaking
hands, which hint at his fragility in the face of time. Inspired by
Jorge Luis Borges’ musings on mirrors in The Aleph (1949), Water
washing through bones is a portrait of both solitude and the search to
see oneself reflected in another.

Suddenly abandoned by her lover, a young Canadian filmmaker takes
refuge in a small town in Cuba. The camera glides through a
melancholic Cuban landscape and heartache transforms with the
recognition of the beauty of love and loss. A tender and deeply
personal memoir, The Road is an invitation to celebrate sorrow and
faith as cornerstones of the human experience.

A childhood memory deconstructed. Using only found footage from her
family's collection of home videos, the director re-visits the moment
her baby brother was first brought home from the hospital and named.
Combining this memory with footage of the first 'horror' film she shot
when 11 years old, the director recycles the footage to evoke the
'trauma' of the arrival of her newborn sibling.

Most of Us don't Live There |

Most of Us Don’t Live There is a memoir, both visually stunning and
heartbreakingly sincere; a young woman wanders the landscapes of her
childhood and explores a life coloured by bipolar depression. Set in
the powerful Canadian Rockies, the film draws a link between nature
and the human mind and calls for a re-visioning of what we understand
as mental illness.
