Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

U Radio News: Rethinking Land Acknowledgements as Living Commitments
Q: How can organizations move from words to action in addressing land and environmental concerns?
By treating treaties as living relationships, listening to the land, and acting on issues like environmental protection and respectful reciprocity, rather than simply reading a fixed text.
U Radio News: Rethinking Land Acknowledgements as Living Commitments
Q: What does land acknowledgment mean to you when it's spoken in public spaces?
It should be less about saying a script and more about being present with the land and with the relationships involved, allowing the acknowledgment to guide ongoing responsibilities rather than a one-time statement.
La lecture – Notre expérience : des histoires qui nous façonnent
Q: Do you like fiction more, or non-fiction more?
Yeva finds non-fiction more interesting because it presents real events in a way she can understand and find awe in.
U Feature: FascinAsian Film Festival - Anthony
Q: What advice would you give to younger or aspiring filmmakers who want to get involved with or submit to the festival?
Take the risk and start creating now with whatever resources you have, don't wait for perfect equipment or ideal opportunities—use your phone, share your work, network, and stay persistent.
U Feature: FascinAsian Film Festival - Anthony
Q: What do you look for when judging films for the festival, and how do you balance relatability with originality?
I look for a balance of relatability and originality—films that connect with audiences while offering something new in storytelling, style, or perspective; strong character work and clear intent help films stand out even in a competitive pool.
