Sex work has endlessly been covered by outsiders. Now the documentary Modern Whore places an insider as the central storyteller, furthering a collaboration between Andrea Werhun and director Nicole Bazuin that started with their book of the same title. In this session, we explore the making of the film: how the film team found its unique style, navigated sensitive issues, and sought to contribute a fresh perspective on sex work. We’ll also explore the current landscape for documentary funding and distribution in Canada.

Limited tickets for this event are available to the public. To purchase, visit Festival Account Manager.
