  • There's a Hole in the Sky

    The opening stanza of Derek Walcott's Names slices through waves breaking on the windward side of Barbados, the landing point for the first black slave society: ​“A sea eagle screams from the rock, and my race began like the osprey, with that cry, that terrible vowel, that I.” Travelling inland from the shore, the narrator of Helen Cammock's essay film—always speaking in the first person, whether as herself or as the embodiment of other voices (from writers to emigrants)—searches for the last vestiges of the sugar trade, a colonial project in freefall.

  • Xcèntric: The only constant is change. Natural Order

    Series of recent works that reflect on the perception and interaction of images in the contemporary world, both in their impact on everyday life and on landscape and nature. At a time when screens have become omnipresent and created a significant effect on the ecosystem, these films reflect on the collision of the multiple images and viewers that digital devices generate when entering spaces, tinging them blue.

  • Xcèntric: World in Focus. Michael Snow and Vincent Grenier

    Michael Snow and Vincent Grenier, two of the most important Canadian avant-garde film artistes, share an ironic and reflective sense of humour that involves the viewer in their works. Snow’s cinema stands out both for its brilliant formal research and its intellectual depth, which it uses to explore ideas about image, language and reality. Some of his most splendid works, such as Wavelength (1967), defined the sensibility of Vincent Grenier from the start of his filmic creation.
