Lillian Goossen contributed to Diaspora in the costume department. This role started with a lot of conversation about the aesthetic of the film and the perspective of the characters with the goal of dressing them in a way that felt natural to them. For Diaspora, Lillian dyed jackets and sewed a dress for the main character as well as helped with sourcing garments and editing the final looks.
Lillian studied Fine Arts at the U of M as well as Fashion and Costuming at LaSalle College Montreal. Born and raised in Gimli, she has worked and volunteered for the Gimli Film Festival as well as contributed to stage productions in Winnipeg. She has recently been painting fabric and making quilts.
Lil had a rewarding artistic experience on Diaspora, “Being able to talk with Deco about his vision for the film and translate that into wardrobe was a new experience for me because it did not follow a formula, in the process there was a lot of room for creativity and collaboration.”
