May 1st - 31st 2022

Created in partnership with Kuala Lampur Experimental Film, Video and Music Festival, Now Transmitting... contemplates transmitting knowledge, connection and creations across borders.

The three projects explore concepts of time, space, and artistic creation in a pandemic age. With COVID fatigue on the mind, these projects ask us to slow down, take a deep breath and reflect on what it means to be together.

Over the course of May we invite you to explore the evolving concept map created by Christina Battle and Samay Arcentales Cajas. To write your own reminder of slowness, sign up for this snail mail project.

From May 12-26, If a tree falls curated by Daniel McIntyre and Rolla Tahir envision an intergenerational dialogue between films created over several decades, questioning the distribution of works outside of typical festival eligibility rules. Further thinking of how to channel space and time, these works are available for you to peruse at your own leasure over the course of 14 days.

Curators Esery Mondesir and James Knott place looping videos in conversation through window projection at PIX Film Gallery and the Toronto Animated Image Society (TAIS) from May 16-23. This project reinforces themes of togetherness and ascension. These works will be available on demand on CFMDCtv from May 23-30.
