Heather Nova by Sanja Vidackovic
Is it foolish to claim that there are people whose inner beauty can be recognized from the sound of their voice?
The decision to ask Heather Nova to take part in our project was based on this very feeling. Her sensual and enigmatic appearance is underlined by an expressive charm and grace, her magical and unmistakable voice has been enchanting the world for decades.
Heather Nova lives with her family in the Bermudas; she paints, writes, sings and gives her untiring support to numerous different aid projects. Her song Higher Ground, inspired by Matt George’s striking story, touched us deeply and even surpassed our idea about her character.

B.A.D. Mon Anthem
The B.A.D. Mon Anthem is the cry for freedom from conscription in the island of Bermuda. This archaic practice has been in place since the 60’s parliamentary segregation regime, causing young men to dread their 18th birthday and subsequent “call to serve” and systemic abuse. This is the anthem of the Bermudians Against the Draft movement that will end this abuse of power.
“In 2010 a ruling by the Privy Council in the UK went against the case of B.A.D. and upheld the laws of conscription in Bermuda.”
Bermudians Against the Draft (B.A.D.) is a joint action group established in the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda to challenge the legality of conscription based on principles of natural justice and judicial review.
B.A.D. was formed in 2006 in response to mounting evidence that military officials in the Bermuda Defence Department and the Bermuda Regiment have systematically abused their statutory powers of recruitment, mobilization and enforcement of its internal security obligations to the British Crown.
B.A.D. has defined a unique moment in the global conscientious objector movement by enabling philosophical or political dissent to the draft to become a sufficient grounds for deferral of military service.
This civil disobedience strategy was driven by the 2% doctrine espoused by renowned pacifist, Albert Einstein, who claimed that:
- ‘In countries where conscription exists, the true pacifist must refuse military duty. In countries where compulsory military service does not exist, true pacifists must publicly declare that they will not take up arms in any circumstances…. The timid may say, “What’s the use? We’ll be sent to prison.” To them I say: even if only two per cent announced their refusal to fight, governments would be powerless – they would not dare send such a huge number to prison.’ (Albert Einstein, 1930)

Final Girl Trailer ft. Heather Nova

“THE FINAL GIRL” a film by Todd Verow.
Starring: Wendy Delorme, Brenda Velez, Judy Minx, Veronique Lindenberg and Pascale Ourbih.
“Director Todd Verow’s sultry mystery takes viewers on an eerie and captivating journey through the psyches of three Parisian women whose paths converge around a vanished fourth. Combining raw documentary footage of the French capital, cryptic dialogue, and atmospheric music, the film seduces viewers, leaving them just as intrigued by the enigma of a missing woman as the film’s main characters. Like the best films of David Lynch or the French New Wave, The Final Girl presents a dreamlike vision that lingers long after the credits roll.” www.bangorfilms.com
Trailer 2 features the song “RIDE” by Heather Nova. Four of her songs are featured in the film among them “Ride” and “Let’s Not Talk About Love.”Todd Verow: “Heather and I went to Rhode Island School of Design together, so we’ve known each other for a really long time. By chance, she happened to get in touch with me and say, “When are you going to use some of my music for one of your movies?” It was that random. I really do like her music, and I thought it would be perfect for this movie. She sent me a whole bunch of stuff, and I picked these songs because these lyrics related to this story. I really like her music, and I like her—because she’s so feminine, so sexual, and so unapologetically sexual. The thing I found in a lot of lesbian movies is that they have a hard rock soundtrack, and I wanted something female-sexual. The music and her songs are a third character.”
