Spring 2024

Pleasure Dome is excited to present The Transfiguration International Film Festival. This traveling international film festival showcases an eclectic range of experimental shorts. Programmed by Jonni Peppers, this festival is artist-driven, audience-minded, and playful in its approach, with an awards ceremony taking place at the end of each iteration. For the Toronto screening, we are thrilled to announce Métis filmmaker Terril Lee Calder and animator Aaron Long will be joining us as our jurors! Be sure to place your vote for the audience choice awards. You don’t want to miss this fun marathon of an evening.

Pleasure Dome is pleased to present the Toronto premiere of non-binary artist Jonni Peppers’s five-part film WASTELAND. Created while Peppers was a student in experimental animation at CalArts, the film explores takes up  isolation, mental illness, and the subjective perceptions of reality in the context of the 2020s. Guest curated by programming committee members Justyne Benico and Jacob Crepeault.
