Obsah kurzu

CAS invites you to a talk by Genne Speers, the Deputy Director of the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre, followed by a screening of films of Canadian artists.

Genne's talk will cover queer works in the CFMDC collection. It will take a broad approach to cover the historical while allowing for some exploration of recent queer works. She will focus on recent collaborations with the Queer Media Database and discuss the work of CFMDC's recent Scholar in Residence who is researching queer work in the CFMDC collection between 1965 - 1985, the pre-AIDS period. This talk will cover issues related to research, exhibition and archiving queer artists' film from a Canadian context.

The talk will be given in English without a simultaneous translation.

Genne Speers is the Deputy Director of the CFMDC, one of Canada’s oldest artist run centres founded in 1967. The CFMDC is also one of four member organizations of TMAC. She is an advisory member of the TMAC board as well as being on the boards of the Media Arts Network of Ontario and the Independent Media Arts Alliance. Genne holds a Masters of Cinema and Film Archiving from the University of East Anglia and is a PhD Candidate in Cinema and Media Studies at York University. Her current research concerns aerial images of violence and the interpretation and translation of instrumental aerial images within the context of the archive.

About CFMDC: Established in 1967, CFMDC is a not-for-profit, artist-run centre that has since grown and evolved into a world-renowned distributor of independent media art. We honour our collective history of avant-garde art film, while playing a key-role in determining a more contemporary definition of distribution in the digital milieu. Now in our 51st year, with 4000 titles in our catalogue by over 1000 members, CFMDC is one of the most enduring, respected, forward thinking, and engaged, distribution centres in Canada.
