Dueck has been part of the local arts community in Peterborough from a young age, having attended the Peterborough Collegiate Vocational School (PCVS) in their Integrated Arts program.

She is an alumnus of Carleton University, Trent University and Fleming College, with education focusing on gender studies, environmental studies and the arts through a justice-based lens.

Dueck is an artistic administrator and volunteer coordinator with over a decade of experience working at the Showplace Performance Centre as a house manager.

"I am elated to have the opportunity to marry my greatest passions at ReFrame Film Festival: social and environmental justice, arts and culture, and the Peterborough/Nogojiwanong community,” says Dueck.

She takes over from Jay Adam, who has worked as festival director for ReFrame for the past five years. Adam saw ReFrame through two virtual festivals during the pandemic.

“ReFrame is pleased and excited to have Kait joining us”, says Jim Hendry, board chair with ReFrame. “Her long association with the festival as house manager for our main venue, Showplace, and her commitment to the social justice and environmental principles the festival is built around made her stand out among a number of highly qualified applicants for the Festival Director position.”

Dueck steps into the role of festival director on Tuesday.
