Mediatheque
Mike Tsang and I went to the Mediatheque at 150 John Street to see the International Dance Day Film Festival. Unfortunately, we only caught the tail end of the films. It was interesting listening to the artists talk about their work, though.
The Mediatheque is a totally awesome place. I watched a few animated shorts and experimental films. Mike made sure I watched Ryan, a deep piece about a famous artist who ended up as a Montreal panhandler. Excellent use of computer graphics to tell a very thought-provoking story.
I'll go back there by myself to watch some of the longer, deeper pieces. Mike searched for all the Philippine-related things, and I'm particularly looking forward to the documentary about Filipino migrant workers. Television can be somewhat insipid, but these on-demand documentaries, experimental films, and archived footage are certainly worth spending time on.
It's amazing, what's available for free...
