All screenings @ Zeidler Hall in the Citadel Theatre, 9828 - 101A Ave
Before Letting Go
Canada
2004,
7 min,
Dir: Tom Sherman
The October Tapes [of which Before Letting Go is part] are quite a ride. These tapes are painfully funny, extremely angry, and intoxicating in their spins through a strangely beautiful landscape revealed by camcorder, the artist’s perceptual instrument of choice. Sherman is known for his direct video style--short on effects and transitional grammar, long on content. His video recordings are proof that the concrete memory of video is an immediate, rough and tumble terrain worthy of our unfiltered, rapt attention. You see for yourself. Sherman’s video is simply nothing like film.

Please Note:
Citadel renovations are ongoing, so Metro Cinema continues to screen in the Rice Theatre, just down the hall from our normal room. Until we return to the Zeidler, screenings will continue to be from video, and not from 35mm.
Also, all Silver Screen passes are good for 3 months past their normal date of expiry, to thank you for your patience.
