The video was written and directed by Moe Clark, created in collaboration with filmmaker Morganne Klemke and contemporary hoop dancer Geraldine Manossa. It was filmed in the summer-autumn of 2009 in the Cypress Hills of Southern Alberta.
The poem Intersecting Circles won the 2007 CBC Calgary Poetry Face-Off and has since become a full stage performance and is now part of a permanent archive collection in Northern Alberta. The video poem was made with the support of Bravo!Fact, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and the Canada Council Arts.
With multiple layers of footage, both captured live in the Cypress hills as well as the Emmedia Production studio in Calgary, different levels of abstract and concrete metaphors coincide to enhance the narrative language of the poem. The poem speaks of the coming together of the Métis people, as it follows the migration of ancestry with themes of transcendence, sacred connection to the land and the collision of bodies in spirit, space and sound.
