E.S.P.: Ecologies

Fillip & Cineworks

An ongoing film series looking at the relationship between film and speculative modes of visuality.

Unit 17 (Moved Inside)

Join us Saturday, September 14 at 8pm at Unit 17, Vancouver, for a free screening with work by Gabi Dao, Sarah Rara, and Tiziana La Melia &amp; Maryse Larivière. E.S.P.: Ecologies continues our investigation into the interdisciplinary space between documentary, narrative, and formalist film, presenting work that complicates notions of science and fiction and the binary systems of knowledge they have come to represent. In this iteration, the natural world becomes a foil for the human environments we have built within it, emphasizing the limitations of human perception and understanding.Doors at 7:30pm. Entrance to this screening is free but an RSVP is required. A light buffet supper will be served followed by a looped screening of The Pollinators (Sarah Rara, 2014).Co-presented with Cineworks and Unit 17. <ul></ul>About the Filmmakers Gabi Dao is an artist, organizer, and co-host, editor, and producer of a weekly radio show called Artspeak Radio Digest with Bopha Chhay, Brady Cranfield, Erik Hood, and Emma Metcalfe Hurst.
