Fil-Canadian filmmaker wins $100K top art prize

Stephanie Comilang won the annual Sobey prize for Canadian artists aged 40 years or younger. FACEBOOK

TORONTO – Filipino Canadian filmmaker Stephanie Comilang was named winner of Canada’s top contemporary art prize, the C$100,000 Sobey Art Award. In its decision, the Sobey jury said of Comilang’s work: “Through what she calls science-fiction documentaries, Comilang speaks to how the world is increasingly experienced through technology. By using the point of view of a drone, the artist shows how communities, made up of mainly migrant women, carve out space in locations that are never really home.”From a work by Stephanie Comilang, Lumapit Sa Akin, Paraiso , 2016.

Comilang expressed financial relief at receiving the annual price reserved for Canadian artists 40 years old or younger, noting to The Art Newspaper that she makes a second home in Berlin, where “it’s cheaper.”
