Shannon Walsh

Johannesburg, South Africa

<p><strong>Shannon Walsh </strong>is a Canadian filmmaker and writer currently living in Johannesburg. Her first feature documentary, H2Oil, was recognized by the <em>Montreal Mirror </em>as one of the top ten independent documentaries of 2009 for its urgent and poignant telling of the human and environmental devastation caused by Alberta's tar sands. Her second feature documentary, "&Agrave; St-Henri, le 26 ao&ucirc;t", brought sixteen filmmakers together over the course of one day to uncover the complexity and contradictions of everyday life in a Montreal neighbourhood. Underlying all of her work is a focus on social justice and collaboration. Walsh has a background in popular education and ethnography, and received a PhD from McGill University in 2010. She is currently a post-doctoral fellow as part of the Research Chair in Social Change at the University of Johannesburg.</p>
