The Art of Making Saturday – A Film by Jessica Hall - Thursday June 5th, 2025
Jessica Hall is a film maker living in Yukon, and on The Pulse she speaks with Grant Hardy about the making of her film Saturday.
Saturday is a heart-warming and uplifting real-life tale of Katherine, a Whitehorse-based woman with an intellectual disability, and her close friendship with her mother Frances. Jessica was inspired by her mother and sisters’ close relationship, and tells Grant how this relationship inspired this film, and how she portrayed her familial dynamic on screen.
They also discuss the importance of diversity, disability and local representation in film.
You can watch Saturday, with described video available, on the NFB’s streaming platform: nfb.ca
