A Canadore student has won The Ellen Monaque Award for Best Youth Work at the imagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival.

Digital cinematography student Morningstar Derosier, of Migisi Sahgaigan (Eagle Lake First Nation), won the award last month for her second year film project, ‘A World of Our Own’.

The film won out against its competition, which included submissions from established professionals from around the world.

Canadore College’s digital cinematography and First Peoples’ Centre brought nine students to experience the film festival, which took place October 17-21 in Toronto, Ont.
