Cassidy Waring is a queer Vancouver-based artist who transforms her struggles into raw, indie folk songs that resonate with uncompromising honesty, sharp wit, and vivid storytelling. Cassidy is also the subject of the new mid-length documentary Hearse Chasing, by Teresa Alfeld (Doug and the Slugs and Me; The Rankin File: Legacy of a Radical). The film follows Cassidy as she returns to her childhood home in Calgary with her younger brother to excavate and understand their past.
In this special Mother's Day VIFF Live event, we will share Teresa's film (43 mins) followed by a short Q&A and intermission, and then Cassidy and her band will perform.
Playing at VIFF Centre from May 10, 2026
