Microscope is pleased to welcome artist and curator Caspar Stracke to the gallery for a special program he assembled on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the May '68 revolts in France and Europe, loosely centered around protest culture in cinema theaters and tracing the ways in which rebellion in the cinema reflected the political climate.

Submissions are now open for the 3rd annual Pile of Bones Underground Film Festival! Deadine for submissions is August 25, 2018.
Pile of Bones celebrates the best of independent underground short film from Canada and beyond! Tired of seeing great films overlooked, the festival began as a way to showcase offbeat and unique productions that weren't getting the exposure they deserve. We are looking for obscure, exceptional films that are underappreciated and uniquely different.
