Citations de April Mullen [en anglais]
« My individual truth comes from (re)discovering my culture and embracing identity. For several generations, my Indigenous ancestry, as so many of ours, was clouded in mystery due to concerns of safety under the colonial state. As I have arrived in a place of intergenerational healing, it is with humility, great pride and openness. This healing journey has changed everything in my and our family's life. We are Anishinaabe of the Algonquin Nation, part of the Thunderbird Clan. I could not be more humbled and honored. »

« What is the female gaze? And why is it that I don't like differentiating myself as a woman? Could it be that over the years I have been told time and time again in convoluted ways that I needed to 'fit in' and suppress my female essence while on set with more than 200 men? Have I been cutting myself and my female voice short in order to succeed in this very male-dominated industry? For the first time I will openly admit, I believe for many years I have been dimming my female qualities while financing, writing, shooting, editing and even releasing films, because I wanted to keep making movies and thought being female might be seen as a weakness. I now, however, see it as a strength. This might have come with experience and age, but it might have also come with all the support I feel around the current celebration of women in film. [...] The female gaze offers a unique perspective on human beings. Women see the world differently than men. How exciting is that? »
