UNIT/PITT + XINEMA are pleased to announce N Dimensional Space, an experimental film screening and gathering organized to accompany Capture’s Selected Exhibition Gravity wins, Entropy rules by Al Razutis.
N: a point in euclidean space representing infinity in all directions; a dimension beyond the familiar. Through the works of filmmakers Kasper Feyrer, Tamara Henderson, Peter Lipskis, Sam Perry, and Al Razutis, the perceptive qualities of holography and its relationship to the physical world are accentuated through the lens of the n-dimension. Drawing from the Holographic Paradigm Theory, these seven local works portray a world where there is order in chaos and uncertainty is only superficial. Portrayed through the celluloid medium, these films use thematic repetition, crystalline imagery, and structural experimentation to queer our comprehension of the unknown.
Released between the years of 1965-2023, this program showcases a range of voices from Vancouver’s experimental film history, representing a community of filmmakers influenced by the shifting ethos and environments of the Pacific Northwest.
The program will be accompanied by hand-crafted spectral dessert by XINEMA program one filmmaker Sydney Southam.
