Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD) and the Canadian Art Foundation present,
in conjunction with the Illingworth Kerr Gallery:
REEL ARTISTS FILM FESTIVAL:
Journey Through the World of Visual Art
March 25th – 28th, 2010
All films are screened at the Stanford Perrott Lecture Hall
The Alberta College of Art and Design,
1407 – 14 Avenue, NW
Calgary, Alberta
Eleven documentary films about contemporary art and some of the strongest artists in it will be screened at the Reel Artists Film Festival this March. The creative nonfiction presentations will showcase the talents of Colette Urban, Yoshitomo Nara, Louise Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama, François Sullivan, Ernst Beyeler (an art dealer), Takao Tanabe, Guy Maddin, Andrea Zittel, Monika Sosnowska, Chuck Close and Antony Gormley. Eleven films will be shown over the four-day festival.
As part of the festival, the Illingworth-Kerr Gallery will host a 3-day intensive workshop, LIVE CINEMA: Real-Time Narratives with Mia Makela (SOLU), and a Scriptwriting Workshop with Noam Gonick and Joshua Wade. Both workshops seem very detailed and comprehensive for people who are interested in filmmaking.
This festival promises to be extremely rewarding, especially given that admission is free. Check out the program schedule at the Canadian Art Foundation or at Alberta College of Art + Design.
