Centred Screening - Tonight!!!
Tonight!!!
February's theme is 'Back to the Future' and will showcase independent media artworks from film and video co-operatives from across Canada - from as far away as BC to as close to home as... well... PEI.
The media works in this screening will rearrange your concepts of time and send visions of the future swimming through your mind! Robots, world wars, and time travel. Many of these films are shot with a retro feel... the way the future appeared from the 1950s.
The featured artist and guest speaker is local filmmaker John Hopkins who will be presenting a selection of his work. His 16mm. film Portfolio plays with concepts of the future, present, and past, and has won numerous awards at festivals such as The Atlantic Film Festival and the Can-Pro Gold Grand Prize. John will also be speaking about his current project 'Robogod' which is a feature length documentary that explores the fascinating mind and work of the internationally revered 'robotocist' Mark Tilden.
The Artist Challenger for February is local filmmaker Adam Perry who will be on hand to speak to and present his short video created especially for this screening. Also featured in February are the second round of Super-8 challenger films by Andrew MacIsaac (Andy John) and Graham Putnam. Other local films screened include works by Jeremy Larter, Errol Richardson, and Jenna MacMillan.
