Small Screen: Space is a screening of experimental short videos by Epekwitk/PEI-based artists that were selected from a non-juried open call for submissions. This Town Is Small values experimentation and this screening features finished works, works in progress, and explorations, inviting artists to engage with new techniques and ideas.
The videos respond to the theme Space through the following prompt: “Space can be vast and infinite, like the cosmos above us, or intimate and personal, like the spaces we inhabit daily. Space is physical, celestial, abstract, and metaphorical. It can be the vacuum of the universe, the expanse between, or the act of taking up room in the world by asserting presence, or claiming identity. How does space shape us? How do we move through it, expand within it, or find boundaries? Space can refer to places, emptiness, social dynamics, expanses of time, or vast celestial bodies that spark wonder and exploration.”
Featuring videos by: Alexis Bulman, Alexandra O'Sullivan, Andreas Fobes, Brendan Henry, Carlie Howell, Chester Hewlett, Damien Worth, Danielle M. Villard, Daria Ross, Evan Furness, Gwydion Temple Morris, Laura Stewart, Millefiore Clarkes, Monica Lacey, Phil Mercier, Somnia Lucent, Teresa Kuo, Ukee Cruthu, and Willow Bell
