Sunset Kino
is Canada’s only outdoor, avant-garde film festival. Founded by Séamus
Kealy in Austria in 2017. Introduced by the programmers and commencing
at sunset, audiences experience a curated program of films and videos by
Canadian and international artists.
This year’s program and theme builds on our current exhibition, To Fall, Patiently
by renowned artist Ali Cherri who explores the entangled histories of
artifacts, labour, environmental transformation, and the enduring
struggle for survival in the aftermath of catastrophe. The premiere program will showcase Cherri’s award-winning films including the acclaimed short, The Watchman, offering a rare opportunity to view Cherri’s
substantial body of film and video, reflecting on the artist’s profound
understanding of the relationship between humans and land, and his
penetrating ability to represent history.
