Café EX: Strange Meetings: Films by Kyle Whitehead (2009-2018)

Wednesday, December 5, 2018
Mercury Lounge
7:30pm

Kyle Whitehead in a Calgary-based  filmmaker, and a graduate from the Alberta College of Art and Design. His work is based in traditional celluloid, making experimental, poetic, and personal cinema. Whitehead works extensively and expressively with Super 8 and 16mm celluloid. His expanded cinema work has also appeared in various museum installations across Canada, including spaces such as Galerie Sans Nom in Moncton, New Brunswick. According to fellow experimental film artist, Stephen Broomer, “Whitehead has been making films, moving image installations, and projection performances that trade in material self-consciousness, the artist’s labours, and elastic treatments of space and light.”

Kyle Whitehead will attend the screening to introduce and discuss his work. He will also give an unique onstage live performance with one of his works!

Admission is pay-as-you-can.
