Occasionally eccentric and always thought-provoking, Microcinema showcases new experimental films while sharing stories, ideas, and connections about Canadian identity and is one of the only permanent exhibition spaces for film and media in Western Canada. See film, video art, animations, and short documentaries, on three media monitors throughout Arts Commons. Through a curatorial selection process, Microcinema programs up to 24 local and national media artists annually in exciting micro-cinema exhibitions running three months in duration.

Meditations For Home
Zach Polis
In a world where we chaotically pinball from doomscrolling another round of the worst news ever to manufactured social media lifestyles to wondering if you’ll ever figure out the annoying flashing light on your cheap home printer disrupting your sleep — the stakes are real.
We just need peace.
Direction and answers to the unanswerable questions of life.
Poetry is this much-needed intervention.
It’s the only way to navigate the disconcerting digital deluge.
This visual series is a poetic exploration of what home looks like for several writers and the soft, enveloping spaces their words open up for listeners of their work.
Poets:
Medgine Mathurin
Aisha Ali
Timiro Mohamed
Neha Vashist
Gian Marco Visconti
Candice Joy Oliva
Anna Marie Sewell
Additional camera:
