Spacing is looking for submissions for our second Public Space Invaders film night. We have received a good stack of submissions but there is still room for more. We’ve extended the deadline to Friday, January 20, 2006.
BACKGROUND: Last January, on a bitterly cold night, 200 people packed the Drake Hotel’s Underground Bar to watch a varied collection of films that celebrated and critiqued Toronto’s public realm (and a few other cities). We are primarily looking for films that deal with public spaces in Toronto. They can be fun, arty, serious, very serious, beautiful or even ugly. Student films are fine too — we want to show Toronto from a variety of angles. Archival films are also great — tell us if you have some great shots of the CN Tower being built or maybe a home movie shot of Uncle Johnny’s first day at the Ex. We are also very interested in films about the TTC and Toronto’s transit system for a gallery exhibit in the winter of 2006.
Films about public space issues in other cities will certainly be considered, but we’re primarily interested in all things local. Please forward us your films, or films we should consider.
