June 17th 6:30pm and 8:00pm Screenings
Location: SFU Cinema at SFU Woodwards 149 W Hastings st.
This evening will feature more international films, plus, 5 new film premiers from this years commissioned artists! These artists have been working hard within the past 6 months in their creations. All films have been created by Canadian artists, but have been filmed in various locations across the globe, from right here in Vancouver, all the way to the Netherlands! These artists were carefully selected by our jury through an application process, and each of their proposals showed promise, dedication, talent and innovation towards the making of a new movement centred film. We are excited to bring these films to the big screen, and to share these works with you!
We hope you will join us after this screening for a talk back with the artists facilitated by one of this year’s jurors Nancy Lee. Join us to learn about their processes and their experience in making these new creations!
8:00pm Commissioned Films
Each of these films were commissioned for this festival, and each demonstrate movement in varying genres and processes. Please join us for a talk back with the artists after the screenings.
