I Trespass Through The Lens considers the potential of experimental cinema to link the parallel geopolitical histories of Palestine and Sudan. Through time and testimony, collective imaginaries converge and enter the frame. This screening is organized by Regards Noirs and members of Regards Palestiniens.

Developed in conjunction with Satellites! — a previous exhibition at Emporium Builder Supplies — this event is a screening of three works by Michael Snow. Snow, an artist and filmmaker working throughout the mid 20th century in Canada sought to use a medium's materiality to draw attention to the sensory experience of viewing art. This selection of his 16mm films also features a discussion with André Habib, professor and historian of art and film; writer and experimental filmmaker Clint Enns; and researcher Léa Jusseau.

VOX and VISIONS invite you to a special evening with the artists of the exhibition One's Own Eyes. Moving between the frames of Lovers' Wind (2024) and Chooka (2018), the trio unfolds a live reading and performance—following images as they oscillate across cycles of violence and war. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Parastoo Anoushahpour, Faraz Anoushahpour, and Ryan Ferko, moderated by Benjamin R. Taylor and Doriane Biot.

BIRTH 5 is a 2 part program: a live a Crankie Box performance by Ava Berkson, followed by a 60 minute block of short animated films. BIRTH Screenings is a monthly communion of performance and animation, hosted at White Wall Studio and curated by Ori Peer.
