LoopLoop (Patrick Bergeron | Quebec) – 5 mins, video, 2008 Regional Premiere Using animation, sounds warping and time shifts this video runs forwards and backwards looking for forgotten details, mimicking the way memories are replayed in the mind.

Introduction à l'usure: R-10 (Pierre Luc Gouin | Quebec) – 2 mins, 16 mm, 2009 World Premiere Introduction à l'usure: R-10 is an essay on changes: changes through time, manipulation and perception. Degradation is everywhere and it is constant; nothing escapes it. In this introduction, Kodak colour reversal 3383 film is treated with Kodak R-10 bleach. Colours and shapes of the pre-exposed film are revealed to create an ever-changing abstract landscape. DISTRIBUTION: pierrelucgouin@gmail.com |

lay claim to an island (Chris Kennedy | Ontario) – 12 mins, video, 2009 Canadian Premiere Texts from the 1969 American Indian Occupation of Alcatraz and letters from supporters propel an exploration of political yearning, emancipatory architecture and failed utopias. What does it mean to claim land that has more value as a symbol than as a potential home? And how does that symbol function beyond the boundaries of its geographic limits?

Snap Shot (Kim Kielhofner | Quebec) – 4 mins, video, 2008 Regional Premiere “I watched a movie one afternoon and this is the story of that movie.” A fictional story combined with my personal archives of photos. Together the story and images walk the line between fiction and autobiography, hero and villain, humor and melancholy. DISTRIBUTION: GIV | giv@videotron.ca

Up the Rabbit Hole (Asa Mori | BC) – 5 mins, video, 2008 Regional Premiere A surreal Super 8 dream sequence unravels as a six-nippled creature finds herself trapped in a capsule with a dead rabbit and a bloody hole. With trusty rabbit ears, she taps her way through bizarre TV scenes: Japanese men on carousels, people in monster suites with balloons, and disturbing garbage bags in bathtubs.

The Garden of Earthly Delights (Izabella Pruska-Oldenhof | Ontario) – 8 mins, 16 mm, 2008 (silent) Manitoba Premiere A visual duet consisting of a 16mm film and a 16mm photogram self-portrait collage. It is inspired by the earthly pleasures and wonders as revealed in the vibrant marvels of Stan Brakhage's cinema, and in the central panel of the 1504 triptych by Hieronymus Bosch titled The Garden of Earthly Delights.

Chronicle Reconstructions (Steven Woloshen | Ontario) – 3 mins, video, 2008 Manitoba Premiere I believe that filmmakers in the future will have to establish an archaeological approach to their subject matter. Instead of photographing images, we may have to dig them from the ground and paste them together – film will look like today's Dead Sea Scrolls. DISTRIBUTION: CFMDC | bookings@cfmdc.org |
