ALLY PANKIW
Ally Pankiw made her TV debut with Netflix’s Feel Good. After directing the hit first season, she went on to direct on The Great, Shrill, Black Mirror, and Ponies. Her latest Black Mirror episode, “Common People,” is nominated for two Emmys. In 2023, Ally wrote and directed her first film, I Used To Be Funny, starring Rachel Sennott. Lilith Fair: Building A Mystery is her latest feature, which combines her passion for nuanced stories about women with her deep roots in documentary. She got her start directing music videos and working as a journalist in Toronto.

We respectfully acknowledge the land on which we gather as the ancestral homelands of the Beothuk, whose culture has now been erased forever. We also acknowledge the island of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland) as the unceded, traditional territory of the Beothuk and the Mi'kmaq. And we acknowledge Labrador as the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Innu of Nitassinan, the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, and the Inuit of NunatuKavut. We recognize all First Peoples who were here before us, those who live with us now, and the seven generations to come. As First Peoples have done since time immemorial, we strive to be responsible stewards of the land and to respect the cultures, ceremonies, and traditions of all who call it home. As we open our hearts and minds to the past, we commit ourselves to working in a spirit of truth and reconciliation to make a better future for all.
