Truth Ellipsis
Artistic Director & Lead Programmer
artistic@guelphfilmfestival.ca

Truth Ellipsis is a long-time community arts organizer and cultural coordinator who believes deeply in the power of stories to bring people together. With a background in spoken word, live performance, and community-led programming, they are not only focused on presenting compelling work, but on serving as connective tissue between art, community, and possibility. Truth sees patterns, aligns intentions, and designs the systems that make cultural transformation possible.

Truth approaches film as a devoted listener, drawn to how stories move us, challenge us, and reshape how we see the world.

At the Guelph Film Festival, Truth is most excited by films that spark conversation beyond the screen and create space for reflection, disagreement, and connection. When they are not thinking about programming or partnerships, Truth can often be found in an audience alongside filmmakers, other artists, poets, or someone who may become a new friend, wandering toward the next good story or discovering it over a well-crafted beer.

Community engagement and social justice have been consistent threads in Caroline’s life.

She recognizes that building relationships takes time but together we can overcome complex issues and ignite dynamic community conversations.
