In Saturday, a visual celebration of her sister Katherine and mother Frances’s close and supportive relationship, filmmaker Jessica Hall chronicles their shared ritual: thrifting and building dollhouses together.
Katherine and her mother, Frances, spend every Saturday together. They go thrifting, peruse the hardware store and devote time to their shared hobby of building—and renovating—dollhouses. Saturday is a tribute to filmmaker Jessica Hall’s sister and mother, chronicling their journey as Katherine navigates life with an intellectual disability. Shot in Whitehorse, the short documentary weaves in family movies of Katherine’s childhood, family gatherings and their immigration to Canada, celebrating her independent and creative life.
