Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British

Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

Joella Cabalu joins me

again. She is the director of a new short film, Ode to a Seafaring People.
It’s a moving, enlightening film about the hidden world of Filipino seafarers.
The film features the spoken word artist Sol Diana. I’ll ask Joella about the genesis
of this film, as well as the stirring words that narrate the film. It is part of
the Behind the Façade series that is produced by Lantern Films, that
will air on Knowledge Network. It starts this Thursday, 03 June 2021, and all
ten of the films will air in primetime at 9.00pm. The films will air throughout
the network’s broadcast day later on. These ten films all reflect the diverse
communities in British Columbia by highlighting historic buildings or neighbourhood
touchstones. Joella Cabalu is the award-winning filmmaker, who was last on the
program when her film Koto: The Last Service debuted as a part of this
year’s DOXA Festival. She first appeared on the program in 2015, with her award-winning
film It Runs in the Family. Her other films include: FIXED!, On
Falling, and Biker Bob’s Posthumous Adventure. Visit www.joellacabalu.com for more
information. Please welcome back to the Planta: On the Line program,
Joella Cabalu; Ms. Cabalu, good morning.
