Personal Visions: The Stories and Confessions from Canadian Autocinema

Screenings of work by Trevor Anderson, Alexander Carson, Tess Girard, Jon Rafman, and Jordan Tannahill

An evening of confessional and poetic cinema from five young Canadian filmmakers, united by a shared sensibility. The films are assemblages of formats, imagery, fact and fiction, all told through disarming first-person narration. Each piece is borne out of a highly individual creation process, often in which the filmmaker is the solitary artist involved.

The screening will be proceeded by a talkback with the directors and a reception, at which Suburban Beast’s Spring/Summer 2013 season will be announced.
