New Works! ― Nouveaux cinéastes
On April 4, 2019 from 6 pm to 9 pm
If you would like to attend the screening, please send an email to RSVP at mediationculturelle@dazibao.art
The program is presented by Dazibao in collaboration with the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema.
Aiming to encourage the professionalization of a new generation of artists and filmmakers, Dazibao is pleased to present a series of experimental films directed by recent graduates of the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema at Concordia University.
All tempting to push the boundaries of various film genres, the selected works incorporate aesthetic approaches deriving from documentary, fashion and dance films. The divers styles employed by these first films attests to their audacity and ingenuity. Bringing forth stories that relate to issues around labour, identity and violence, this series of films tackle contemporary subjects, which concern this new generation.
The purpose of this event is to create a space for networking to these filmmakers in order to encourage the possibility of future collaborations.
