Part of Winter 2001


Saucy, moving, and reprehensible! Come see what your friends and neighbours were up to in the century’s dying moments. Laurel Woodcock presents a dancing bug whose time has finally come; Jeremy Drummond comes clean of his baby-sitter trauma nostalgia; Will Kwan takes Borges on a tour of Chinatown; and Hilda Rasula and Chris Chong serve up pulsations to groove and/or trance your senses. Offerings from Wrik Mead, Istvan Kantor, Daniel Borins and more of Toronto’s finest knowns and gonna-be-knowns make this members-curated screening a seductive alchemic mix. Arrive early to see John Porter’s latest Super 8 film performance, check out the half-time video installations by Tasman Richardson and Deirdre Logue and join us for a post-screening debauchery at Liquid Lounge, 577 College St. 2nd floor.
