Daniel Gerson
Gerson is a visually impaired artist from Winnipeg. Upon hearing the news that his blindness was in fact not his imagination, he quit his job in pursuit of art. He expects to learn nothing. Who needs a map anyways? His last finished film, Welcome, in 2008 won a jury special mention at Festival du Nouveau Cinema. He spent the next eight years shooting street photography, but when he received that cursed news that he was going blind, he put down his stills camera camera to make films once again. He is obsessed with memory, repetition, and the garden of Eden.
