Canuck curators Astria Suparak and Brett Kashmere want to trade in your MTV, Madonna, Mister Rogers and melting pot for Much Music, Alanis Morisette, Mr. Dressup and government-mandated multiculturalism. Eyebeam’s Panorama screening series third installment looks at experimental and underground film/video makers from the Great White North.

Featuring recent work by Daniel Barrow and the Hidden Cameras, Kara Blake, Shary Boyle and Peaches, Jubal Brown, Paige Gratland, Jake Kennedy, Jim Munroe, Jon Sasaki, Tom Sherman, Jeremy Bailey, Daniel Cockburn and Dorion Berg, How To Be A Canadian replays, challenges and refracts traditional representations of the peaceful and sportsmanlike Canadian by utilizing artistic (re)enactment, telepathetic aesthetics, manual animation, performance, and high-end low technologies.

Following the screening, Québécois AV duo Skoltz_Kolgen will perform Fluux:/Terminal v.4, a live audio visual performance that explores the charged energy between the worlds of sound and vision. Over the last 8 years, SK has defined a creative process that explores subtle variations between sound and image frequencies, imposing the logic of one on the presentation of the other, resulting in multiple variations in idifferent mediums. The process has already given birth to a feature film Silent Room, premiered at the NY Video Festival, live performances at venues such as Mutek and Ars Electronica, and two albums.

This event is open to the public free of charge with a suggested donation.
