FOLIE à DEUX SAW VIDEO
(OTTAWA) AND MODERN FUEL (KINGSTON) Sunday,
November 12 at 7:30PM / Free Admission / Cash Bar As part of its 25th anniversary celebrations, SAW Video is proud to present 7 new works made through its thematic commissioning program 'Folie à deux'. A collaborative initiative with Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre in Kingston, the screening will feature world premieres by video artists from Eastern Ontario, including four from Ottawa. Folie à deux is a psychotic disorder shared by 2 people, usually people who are mutually dependent upon each other. The selected artists explore the theme of shared delusion in wide-ranging ways, from siblings creating untouchable worlds to drug-induced symbiosis to human dependance upon a machine. Screening Program: * Motel
to Motel by Véronique Couillard and Ryan Stec The project was made possible through the generous sponsorship of the Ontario Arts Council Touring and Collaborations program. For more
information, please contact Jason St-Laurent at (613) 238-7648 or clubsaw@artengine.ca |

Independent Exposure 2007 (Worldwide) A Worldwide Microcinema Screening Program of International Short Films, Videos and Digital Works Since
its inception in 1996, Independent Exposure has gained an enviable reputation
as an important showcase for contemporary, progressive, artistic, and
culturally relevant short films and videos. Each Independent Exposure
program is thoughtfully curated to present diverse and eclectic works
in a relevant and intentional context. The curatorial aesthetic is further
supported by the presentation of the Independent Exposure series in
non-traditional venues or "microcinemas" such as galleries,
cafes, bars, nightclubs, outdoors, and other alternative spaces that
support the independent arts. To date, Independent Exposure has been
presented hundreds of times in 43 countries plus Palestine and Antarctica
and a base camp on Mt. Everest. 2007 will also see the launch of the
Independent Exposure Podcast and the program will be presented across
multiple online and mobile platforms. Hal Hartley will curate a "Best
of Independent Exposure 2007" which will then screen in San Francisco,
Houston, and other worldwide locations to be determined during the fall
of 2007. |
