Public Screens: A Body Uncontained
Presented in Partnerships with grunt gallery, Gallery Gachet, The City of Richmond, and Lipont Gallery
Our Public Screens program, A Body Uncontained, reimagines how movement-on-screen is viewed and experienced. This collection of films cannot be contained within the walls of the cinema, they extend beyond the body and the camera to find a landing place on outdoor screens across so-called Metro Vancouver.
These films were created with deeply personal ponderings in mind, where each artist questions their relationship to a larger concept beyond themselves. Whether this be one’s relationship to time, an object, our surrounding environment, or social system in place, A Body Uncontained pushes us to contemplate new ways of existing beyond the confines of these dynamics.
If you encounter these screens in your day-to-day life, snap a photo or video of the screen and tag @formvancouver on Instagram — we'd love to see how you experience these moments of movement!
Thank you to Cinevolution for supporting this program!
Film still of Her Stories Have Always Been a Part of Me by Naomi Watkins (Canada) YOUTH
FORM is based in so-called Vancouver, in what is colonially known as Canada, on the unceded and stolen traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. FORM continues to reflect on and bring attention to connection to bodies, land and movement through filmmaking, documentation and storytelling. We are grateful to share and witness these stories together while inspiring movement towards positive change, wherever you may be.
