Please join us for a reception with food and drink at 6:30 followed by a screening of experimental short films from the the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.
Presented by the Goethe-Institut Ottawa and Digital Arts Resource Centre (DARC).
This year’s Artist and Experiment programme assembles some of the most intriguing filmmakers who are currently working in the field of tension between film and art. At the beginning, Gustaf Broms asks in Perforated Realities how the Covid-19 virus could shake the foundation of an idea of civilisation. Katrin Winkler uses private footage of missionaries who accompanied colonisations in Africa to address the question of how the colouring came about and how it is shaped by power structures through different colonising actors.
