PLATFORM centre is excited to present an online screening titled PLAY. Running from 03 September – 1 October 2021, this screening loosely explores ideas of play from 15 emerging and established artists across Canada working with film + video. From playgrounds, to riverbeds, racetracks and backyards; these works are meditations on memories of playfulness and celebrate experimental approaches to making moving image work.
