  • Comment: You display a basic misunderstanding of referencing:
    For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
    Random checks of your multitude of broadly useless references show lille more than passing mentions. It is unlikely that, were the checks to be expanded, this woudl differ.
    You have created WP:BOMBARD. It is time for a substantial précis, prose, lists and faux references alike. There is a lot of work to do. Please do not resubmit without doing all of the huge précis required.
    Once you have cut great swathes from this we may then be able to determine whether the subject passes the relevant criteria. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 22:28, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Many of the films she has produced have also been purchased for collections including the Academy Film Archive,[18] Austrian Film Museum, and The Museum of Modern Art.[19][20]

Career

edit

Since 2004, Mosna has held the position of artistic director at Media City Film Festival (MCFF).[21][22][23] The festival is internationally recognized for its decades of unique cross-border work.[24][25][26] Film productions and presentations take place in both Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan since 1994, with support from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,[27][28] Knight Foundation,[29] Canada Council for the Arts, and other national and international film and art agencies.[30] Filmmakers frequently visit MCFF in Windsor–Detroit during and outside of festival time to make new films.[31] Over the years, the region has gained a reputation in global cinema circles as an important international meeting place for the creation, presentation and distribution of avant-garde film and cinema in general.[32][14][33]

Across more than two decades, Mosna has directly worked with and championed thousands of filmmakers and artists, organizing production, exhibition, and dissemination contexts for their works, and supporting key figures in the history of film and art from over 100 nations, including Mati Diop,[34][35][36] Artavadz Peleshyyan, [37] Simone Leigh,[38][39] Andy Warhol,[40] James Benning, Sky Hopinka[41], Yoko Ono,[42] Sergei Parajanov[43], Kamal Aljafari,[44][45] Michael Snow[46], Ken Jacobs, Sergei Eisenstein, Rose Lowder, Harun Farocki, Cauleen Smith,[47] Malena Szlam,[48][49] Apichatpong Weerasthakul, Narcisa Hirsch,[50] Ja'Tovia Gary,[51] Hollis Frampton, Cecilia Vicuña,[52] Robert Beavers,[53] Ben Rivers,[54] Daïchi Saïto,[55] Christopher Harris,[56] Harry Smith,[57] Basma Alsharif, Raven Chacon, Abigail Child, Rosalind Nashashibi,[58] and hundreds more. Mosna's film programs and productions have toured extensively to festivals, museums and galleries in North America and around the world.[59][60][61] She was the Canadian Delegate for the Cinema and Moving Image Research Assembly, and researcher in residence at the Friedl Kubelka School for Independent Film, Austrian Film Museum (Vienna) and Light Cone (Paris) in 2016 and 2017.

Important projects have included co-organizing the first retrospective of Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa's films in North America at MCFF in 2007,[62] the first North American appearance by French-Senegalese director Mati Diop in 2010,[63] the first dual photography and film retrospective of two-time Austrian State Prize winner Friedl Kubelka in 2010,[64] North American retrospectives of Yoko Ono[65][66] and Takahiko Iimura's films, the first festival retrospective of Ja'Tovia Gary's films and Carolee Schneemann's final in-person film retrospective at the Detroit Institute of Arts,[67] and hundreds of in-person and virtual premieres by directors and artists such as Sergei Parajanov,[68] Sharon Lockhart, Simone Leigh, and many others. Mosna has also curated countless retrospectives and spotlight presentations with Valie Export,[69] Tony Cokes,[70] Richard Serra,[71] Mona Hatoum, Jocelyne Saab,[72] Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich, Peter Hutton, and others.  

Japanese-Canadian Director Daïchi Saïto filming earthearthearth (2021) in Valle de la Luna, Los Flamencos National Reserve in the Atacama (2015).

Founded by Mosna in 2019, MCFF's Chrysalis Fellowship[73] has supported the creation of dozens of films by emerging and established directors, including work by 60th Venice Bienniale Silver Lion award recipient Karimah Ashadu,[74][75] Locarno Film Festival Golden Leopard Nominee Kamal Aljafari,[76][77] Golden Bear award winner Zelimir Zelnik, three time Tiger Award winner Ben Rivers, Guggenheim Fellowship recipient Christopher Harris for his film Speaking in Tongues: Take One (2024)[78][79], and MacArthur Genius award winner Sky Hopinka's first feature film Malni - Towards The Ocean, Towards The Shore (2020).[80] Among the numerous films she's helped shepherd as an independent producer, or through her work at MCFF, include Japanese-Canadian filmmaker Daïchi Saïto's earthearthearth (2021)[81] and Chilean-Canadian filmmaker Malena Szlam's Altiplano (2018)[82] produced as part of Mosna's Underground Mines commission tour of South America[83], which featured Canadian analogue filmmakers at events held in Brazil, Argentina and Chile, including the Presidential Palace and the Chilean National Museum of Fine Art in Santiago in 2015.[10] Both films, shot as part of the tour in the Atacama desert, won awards on the international festival circuit. Altiplano (2018)[84] was also named one of Toronto International Film Festival's Canada's Top Ten films [85] and earthearthearth (2021) is now held in the collection of the Academy Film Archive. Upon the release, Tony Pipolo wrote of Saïto's 35mm film in Artforum "It is as if we are watching a movie shot by some primeval witness to the beginning of the world."[86] A trilogy of films by Argentine filmmaker Pablo Mazzolo, including Fish Point (2015) and The Newest Olds (2022),[87] both made in Windsor–Detroit with Mosna as producer, and concerned with similar environmental themes as the aforementioned works created in South America, screened extensively at international festivals, including world and North American premieres at the New York and Toronto International Film Festivals.[88]

The final chapter of Ephraim Asili's The Diaspora Suite (2011-2017), Fluid Frontiers (2017)[89][90] was also released with Mosna as producer. The film explores the relationship between concepts of resistance and liberation, exemplified by abolitionist activities, the Underground Railroad, Broadside Press, and artworks in the Windsor–Detroit borderlands. "In Fluid Frontiers the demarcation between the American and Canadian footage is frequently indistinguishable, particularly during several of the direct-address readings, which are set against nondescript walls and trees. The device serves to provoke questions of similarity and difference both across time and across borders, inviting us to examine how much has really changed in present-day America, and to what extent Canada is 'Keeping the Flame of Freedom Alive,' to borrow the engraving from Windsor's Tower of Freedom, which looms over one of Asili's readers."[91] All of the Canadian readers in Asili's film are direct descendants of formerly enslaved peoples whose ancestors crossed the US border to Canada in search of freedom.[92] Among hundreds of international screenings, Mosna organized Homecoming: The Diaspora Suite on the Underground Railroad at Sandwich First Baptist Church in Windsor, Ontario in 2018, with the director and cast in attendance.[92][89] The church itself was built in 1851 by fugitive slaves with clay gathered from the banks of the Detroit River, and is recognized as a significant terminal on the Underground Railroad. The title of Asili's film is a reference to the book A Fluid Frontier: Slavery, Resistance, and the Underground Railroad in the Detroit River Borderland, edited by Karolyn Smardz Frost and Veta Smith Tucker.[93] In thirteen essays divided among five themes, A Fluid Frontier introduces readers to the people, places, and events that were instrumental in leading more than thirty thousand formerly enslaved peoples to freedom. Mosna has also appeared in several films, including Fern Silva's Ride Like Lightning, Crash Like Thunder (2017).[94][95]

African American filmmaker Kevin Jerome Everson at the foot of Windsor-Detroit's Ambassador Bridge on the Canadian side (2014).

In 2023, together with Greg de Cuir Jr[96] co-founder and director of Kinopravda Institute, Mosna co-curated MOONSHINE: The Celestial Films of Kevin Jerome Everson, after their collaboration on the virtual exhibition Radical Acts of Care [97](2020), which took place virually at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Radical Acts of Care [98] was inspired by Dr. Charles H. Wright and showcased work by the Iranian poet Farough Farrokhzad, African American writer and activist Audre Lorde, along with artists and filmmakers Simone Leigh, Cauleen Smith, Madeleine Anderson, and others at a time when the virus was disproportionately afflicting Black residents in Detroit.[99] As stated by writer Patrick Dahl in his review of the exhibition: "believing that life on Earth can be any better is evidence of care in defiance of all evidence. But hope, as these works attest, has always demanded radical action to prevent its appropriation by the forces working hardest to strip it from us. That image echoes through each work in Radical Acts of Care, perfectly crystallizing each term in the title."[100] Well known for his extensive filmography depicting the lives of working-class African Americans, Kevin Jerome Everson's MOONSHINE exhibition (2023) was the Heinz Award-winning artist's first solo gallery exhibition in Canada, and also marked the first time that his complete body of celestial films [101] were presented together in any context. Everson has created a number of films in Windsor–Detroit since 2014, including It Seems to Hang On (2015),[102] which had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, along with Grand Finale (2015), and Regal Unlimited (2015). Mosna has curated screenings featuring more than 50 films by Everson in Windsor–Detroit since 2010, including career retrospectives in 2011, 2015 and 2025 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Michigan Central Station, and other locations.[103] Her 2022 British Film Institute Sight and Sound "Greatest Films of All Time" poll lists all of Everson's feature films, completed at the time, as a "ready-made" contribution.[104]

Among many other projects, Media City Film Festival's ThousandSuns Cinema Indigenous Edition (2023),[105] co-curated by Mosna and co-presented in collaboration with COUSIN Collective[106] offered free global access to more than 60 landmark films by Indigenous directors. Filmmakers screened as part of the exhibition included Abenaki artist and director Alanis Obomsawin, Mohawk interdisciplinary artist Shelly Niro, Nenets filmmaker, screenwriter and journalist Anastasia Lapsui, Ho-chunk/Pechanga visual artist and filmmaker Sky Hopinka, Inuk director Mosha Michael, Luiseño/Diegueño artist and filmmaker Fox Maxy, Cree filmmaker, painter, and performance artist Kent Monkman, the Ojibwee and Tingit Indigenous arts collective New Red Order, Algonquin visual artist and filmmaker Caroline Monnet, Pulitzer Prize-winning Diné composer, artist, and filmmaker Raven Chacon, Métis filmmaker and artist Rhayne Vermette, and Kiowa/Mohawk curator, critic and director Adam Piron, among dozens more. The exhibition was covered in Screen Slate, The New York Times[107] and other publications. Hopinka and Piron participated in an extensive Film Comment interview[108] with Devika Girish and Clinton Krute detailing the importance of the series and the diversity of contemporary and historical Indigenous cinema in general.  

Since 2001, Mosna has also worked on special artists' editions, including with Michael Snow, members of CCMC (Canadian Creative Music Ensemble), and The Music Gallery to release the long-lost Volume Three recording as a vinyl LP, which culminated in live performances by Michael Snow and Wolf Eyes at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit.[109][110] Snow is considered one of the most influential experimental filmmakers and Canadian artists of all time.[111][112] She has co-organized performances with many musicians, including Alvin Lucier,[113] Yasunao Tone,[114] Matana Roberts,[115] and Laraaji. Mosna maintains an active artistic practice and was included in recent group exhibitions in Detroit and Paris with American poets Anne Waldman, Eileen Myles, Charle Bernstein, and others in 2025.[116]
