Les soires vido-club sont prsentes par Vidographe, en collaboration avec le Cinma Moderne.


Le programme : rassemble de Shelly Silver et de Lysanne Thibodeau.


Dans cette histoire de mort, de meurtre, dtude de march, de vengeance et de surnaturel, deux amies s'unissent pour essayer de comprendre comment vivre tout en tant harceles par les messages malveillants des morts. En combinant l'utilisation du film noir et blanc, de la vido couleur et de mthodes de tournage empruntes au drame, la comdie et au documentaire, adopte une approche du rcit dans laquelle la tche de dpartager la vrit de la fiction, et la comdie du documentaire, mne une forme largie o les morts peuvent parler aux vivants et des gens dans la rue interagir avec des personnages fictifs.


Berlin-Mitte, annes 1980. Un vampire erre dans la ville, prisonnier dune existence dont il ne peut se dfaire. Insensible aux crucifix,indiffrent la lumire du jour, il est condamn non pas par sa nature, mais par son incapacit mourir. Pourtant, il nabandonne pas sa qute : trouver enfinun moyen dchapper lternit. Jusquau jour o lespoir prend une forme inattendue est un hommage aux films de Carl Dreyer, Russ Meyer, Andy Warhol et Ed Wood.


Le programme : a t assembl par lquipe de Vidographe.





The program : brings together Shelly Silver's and Lysanne Thibodeau's .


It is the story of mortality, murder, market research, revenge and the supernatural, as two friends come together to try to figure out how to live, while being besieged by malignant messages fromthe dead. Combining the use of black and white film, color video, and dramatic, comedic and documentary methods of shooting, takes an approach to narrative in which the task of sorting out truth from fiction, and documentary from situation comedy, leads to anexpanded form in which the dead can speak to the living and people on the street can talk to fictional characters.


Berlin-Mitte, 1980s. A vampire roams the city, trapped in an existence he cannot escape. Immune to crucifixes, unaffected by daylight, he is cursed not by his nature, but by his inability to die. Yet he refuses to giveup his search for an end to eternity. Until one day, hope takes an unexpected form is a tribute to the films of Carl Dreyer, Russ Meyer, Andy Warhol, and Ed Wood.


The program : was curated by Vidographes team.

Laura Taler | HEX: Begin Again | 31.10.-13.12.2025


À VENIR




@ Laura Taler
Du 31 octobre au 13 décembre 2025 | Vernissage: jeudi 30 octobre From October 31 to December 13 | Opening: Thursday, October 30





In HEX: Begin Again, Laura Taler combines a simple mirror trick with strategies of masquerade to create a world of ritual and séance. Reaching into the past, Taler recites a series of remarkably contemporary historical texts by Maya Deren, Claude Cahun, and Susan Coolidge. These women’s carefully crafted and yet disruptive works sought to create new realities through artistic and technological means—realities where a self-aware female body is simultaneously sexual, intellectual, spiritual, practical, and unbounded by social mores. Through repetition and fragmentation, HEX: Begin Again questions our relationships to past and present technologies, the relativity of absolute value, and long held prejudices about female power. Visual clues punctuate the monologue and point to transformation and new beginnings. By channeling these women, who self-identified as outsiders, Taler weaves movement, cinema, and text to form a complex and playful language of resistance. Romanian-born Canadian artist Laura Taler works across a range of media including performance, film, sound, sculpture, and installation. Her practice explores how memory and history are linked to movement and how the body is able to carry the past without being oppressed by it. Taler began her career as a contemporary dance choreographer before turning her attention to filmmaking and visual art. Her work has been praised for its unique combination of emotional resonance, wit, and striking visuals. She has been a resident at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Centro Cultural Recoleta (Buenos Aires), Carleton Immersive Media Studio (Ottawa), Ottawa Dance Directive, Unpack Studio (Havana) and a fellow at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry (Berlin). Awards include a Gold Hugo from the Chicago International Film Festival, the Best Experimental Documentary award from Hot Docs!, Best of the Festival from New York’s Dance on Camera Festival, and SAW Gallery’s Dennis Tourbin Prize for New Performance. Her public art audio work MONAHAN was awarded the 2024 Creative City Network of Canada’s Public Art Legacy Award. To mark the 30th anniversary of her first film, the village trilogy, screenings and master classes will take place in 2025-26 across Canada.Heures d’ouverture :

Join the D+Q Cooks! Cookbook Clubon Sunday November 2nd at 6:30 pmto share delicious food with fellow cookbook lovers!
A cookbook club is like a traditional book club,but instead of talking about a book weve all read, we all make arecipe (or multiple recipes) froma cookbook and share pictures ourdishes on the event page and all together at a gathering at the bookshop. The club is hosted by Isabella Geddes and is free to attend.
For this edition of the club we are reading QUEERS AT THE TABLE, edited by Alex D. Ketchum and Megan J. Elias. For this meeting we will be joined by editor Alex D. Ketchum as well as contributors TristianLee, Danielle Kydd, and Lauren McGowan.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
QUEERS AT THE TABLE is an anthology of essays, comics, andrecipes that reveals the dynamic and transformative relationship between queerness and food

Food haslong played an important role in queer culture. Lesbian- and queer women-run feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffeehouses have been safe spaces for queer and trans folkwhere gender norms can be challenged and where female authority is legitimized. During the AIDS epidemic, gay men and their allies centred food as an expression of collective care for those who needed itmost. And queer and trans folk have asserted themselves in a restaurant culture largely controlled bywhite cisgender men.

Queers at the Table celebrates the various intersections between queers and food. In its essays, comics, and recipes, the book shows how this shared culture fosters connections, defies norms, honours legacies, and creates community. Taylor Hartson and Tristian Lee write about a queer farming community in which queerness is part of a broad network ofliving things to be enjoyed and shared; Danielle Kydd writes about food security issues as faced by LGBTQ2S+ folk; and Blue Delliquanti's comic on urban foraging in Minneapolis demonstrates the role of aqueer friend group in a local ecosystem.

In full colour throughout, Queers at the Table is a diverseand enriching anthology that reveals the myriad nurturing ways thatqueerness informs food productionand restaurant culture and how food empowers, transforms, and unites queer and trans folk.
