Dr. Joanne Collins-Gonsalves's book Iris de Freitas Brazao, Legal Luminary and Trailblazer: Caribbean, Canada, Wales, England 1896-1989 was featured in the important and highly regarded short film by Dr. Anna Macdonald, Associate Fellow of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, University of London.
The film premier was held on December 9, 2024 in London at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies and at an earlier viewing in October 2024.
A description of the film for the December premier stated that it is "a short film that focuses on the decolonising work of IALS. It was made by IALS’ first practitioner in residence, and now Associate Fellow, Dr Anna Macdonald, working with Head Librarian, Marilyn Clarke, director of photography Marisa Zanotti and IALS library staff. It is a warm, nuanced film that brings attention to the colonial legacies that influence library design and the importance of work staff are doing to address this. Drawing on Macdonald’s background in screendance (an artform combining dance and film) Changes in Light explores the impact of the affective qualities of libraries on those who use them as a way of revealing the colonial complexities of law itself."
Congrats to Dr. Anna Macdonald, Marilyn Clarke, and Marisa Zanotti. The film is available online via this link: https://vimeo.com/1037379860.
