Black Box Shorts: Canadian Experimental Film – Forty Years Later

In 1978, EIFF included a screening of recent experimental films from Canada. Forty years later, and to tie in with this year’s special focus, we look again at the contemporary output of a country with a strong tradition of innovative and challenging filmmaking. Showcased here is a diverse selection of works that foreground the material properties of 16mm, many of them created during Philip Hoffman’s Film Farm – The Independent Imaging Retreat. Co-curated with and introduced by Terra Long (Film Farm).
