Directing
Jenny Cartwright has been involved with documentary film production for over twenty years and has collaborated on projects shot around the globe. Interested in the dynamics of power that shape our world, she creates works that tackle complex issues such as gentrification, class divide, work and feminist action. Her first creative audio documentary Debouttes! (2019) was selected at Longueur d’ondes, one of the most important radio and podcast festivals in Europe. She followed with Quels morceaux de nous la tempête a-t-elle emportés avec elle? a creative audio documentary that shed light on the mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic by Quebec’s government in residential and long-term care centers. It received the first international NUMIX award for best immersive sound experience. Her first feature-length documentary I Remember When No One Jogged in This Neighbourhood premiered at The Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM) and was screened at VOX - Centre de l’image contemporaine as part of the exhibition The Radical Imaginary II: Reclaiming Value.
