The Loop Collective is proud to announce the start of a long-awaited new cycle of The Lighthouse Series for 2011!

Join us on March 18th at Cinecycle (129 Spadina Ave., Toronto), as we present Stan Brakhage's immense late work, The Vancouver Island Quartet, for one of the first-ever public screenings in its entirety with a special introduction by filmmaker, author and theorist R. Bruce Elder.

This event is the first of four Lighthouse programmes scheduled for 2011, which will include several additional Canadian premieres and artists' talks this coming Summer, Fall and Winter.

Now in its fifth year, The Lighthouse Series has consistently devoted itself to promoting experimental cinema in Toronto, including significant presentations of legendary practitioners (Jonas Mekas, Marie Menken, Harry Smith, Larry Jordan, Jack Chambers, Pat O'Neill, Ed Emschwiller, Hollis Frampton, Joyce Wieland, Carolee Schneemann, Barbara Rubin) and premieres of new and recent works by contemporary makers, including guest presentations by Carl Brown, Michael Snow, Richard Kerr, Double Negative Collective, Pim Zwier, R. Bruce Elder, Alex Geddie and members of Loop.
