Pleasure Dome is pleased to announce the 2024 edition of New Toronto Works. This annual screening is highly-anticipated and for good reason: when else do you have the opportunity to spend an evening relishing in brand new work made in the past year by artists from Toronto and the GTA? The screening will be followed by an in-person roundtable and Q&A with the artists.

Akimbo is celebrating its 25th anniversary by interviewing arts organizations in the community under a column called “Reflections.” Because Pleasure Dome was Akimbo’s very first client, we marked their first conversation in the series. Pleasure Dome’s Executive Director Lauren Fournier spoke to Terence Dick about our organization’s history and vision for the future.
Pleasure Dome now welcomes submissions for New Toronto Works 2024. The artist must be based in Toronto or the Greater Toronto Area, and the work (experimental film and moving-image work) must have been made in the last 12 months (no earlier than March 2023). The deadline for submissions is April 26, 2024 (11:59 pm EST).
We commissioned four local artists, writers, and filmmakers from our recent Digital Now e-book project, Renata Azevedo Moreira, Dhvani Ramanujam, Cody Rooney, and Fan Wu, to respond in creative ways to Pleasure Dome’s spring and summer 2023 in-person screenings. You can read their responses here.
