Join us for the talk and screening ‘Analogue in Depth’, where our co-directors Jennifer Lauren Martin and Taylor Le Melle will have an in-depth discussion on films that depict black life and their relationship to black audiences.

The talk and screening will be followed by a Q&A.

Presented by la lumière collective and proposed by co-director Emma Roufs, DIFFRACTION is an experimental cinema program that invites viewers to discover the work of six Montreal-based artists who constantly question their relationship with the moving image. In the first part, viewers discover six short 16mm films by Samy Benammar, Charles-André Coderre, Emma Roufs, Malena Szlam, Benjamin R.Taylor and Erin Weisgerber.

This series, guest programmed by Ritika Kaushik and Sean Batton, explores the history of India and its fragmentations through a series of experimental shorts from the nation. Kaushik and Batton write:

Step into the contemplative world of acclaimed experimental filmmaker Peter Hutton with a rare screening of three of his most poetic works: Landscape (for Manon), Study of a River, and Time and Tide.

Traveller, sea merchant and avid sailor, Peter Hutton made silent films grounded in the fleeting movement of rivers, clouds, mist, smoke and sunlight, inspired by the river painters from the Hudson river school (1829–1908).
