La région centrale is a three-hour film that artist Michael Snow filmed over a week atop a plateau about one hour by helicopter from the town of Sept-Îles, in Northern Quebec. Snow chose to film a deserted region without a trace of human life.
With spring in full bloom, and sense of wonder in our hearts, we arrived at the fourth program of our current season. What does it mean to be an artist? How do you relate your art to your surrounding, to the problems around you, locally or globally? We don’t have an answer, but perhaps these are the questions driving us to continue making our online programs.

This screening honors the work and legacy of one of Germany’s most pioneering, yet overlooked experimental filmmakers. In the 1960s, the painter Dore O. became one of the first women to work consistently and independently in postwar German experimental cinema. A co-founder of the Hamburg Co-op, she was actively involved in exploring new forms of cinema with her then-husband, Werner Nekes.
Blissed is an experimental love story, both lyrical and graphic. Hovering in the sensuous haze where flesh and dream become one, it wordlessly explores the shared inner life of two people whose devotion to one another expresses itself in forms that still challenge convention. Sexually frank and poetically immersive, this plunge into one couple’s erotic utopia pushes the boundaries of what has previously been shown in Irish cinema in a way that is both sensitive and provocative.
