New Prairie & Canadian Cinema 2: Controlled Breach

As a new generation of Prairie filmmakers embraces experimentation, the variety of forms and voices from the Prairies and across Canada continues to expand. WNDX is pleased to present New Prairie & Canadian Cinema. Each program features recent film & video art from the Prairies in the first half, followed by work from the rest of Canada in the second. Programs will commence with an outsider’s perspective of Winnipeg. Last year’s visiting filmmakers George Kuchar and Barbara Sternberg each created works about our city, which will provide starting points for the New Prairie & Canadian Cinema programs.

Controlled Breach: Our landscapes evolve and collapse, and Canadian artists look at the spaces, places and memories that influence our sense of meaning. From work that extends our landscape tradition, to reflections on cultural and iconic roles, to explorations of personal loss.
