Analogue Resilience: A Film Labs Gathering
May 25 – 30, 2023 in Toronto, Canada

The Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT) is excited to announce that we will be hosting a gathering of analogue film labs and filmmakers here in Toronto, Canada, taking place May 25 – 30, 2023. Our intention for this gathering is to create spaces and situations for artist-run labs, collectives, and filmmakers to share with and learn from each other through collaboration and conversation.

Alternative Film Video 2021 will take place from 8-12 December 2021 at Students’ City Cultural Center in Belgrade. The Alternative Research Forum, scheduled on 10 December 2021, will be organised as a hybrid online event, offering a focussed, intimate environment in which to share thoughts and promote exchange of ideas. The organisers of the Alternative Research Forum invite academics, artists, curators, writers and researchers of all types to submit proposals for presentations on the topic of the Non-Aligned Movement and moving images.

This conference aims to reach further into understandings of what experimental animation is and has been since Robert Russett and Cecile Starr defined this territory in 1976.  Of the subsequent multiple investigations since, few have claimed to research experimental animation specifically as Hamlyn and Smith have sought to do in their volume: Experimental and Expanded Animation: Current Perspectives & New Directions, the recent publication of which has catalysed this research day.  This event aims to further focus our project and to develop findings from the publication through more immediate methods of open dialogue and/or film practice.
