UK filmmaker and programmer of the no.w.here Media Arts Centre in London will present an artist talk on his curatorial, pedagogical and social filmmaking practices. At its core, Butler’s practice challenges and interrogates participation, collaboration, the social turn, and the traditional roles of the artist as producer and the audience as recipient. Over dinner, we hope to introduce Butler to the art, media, writing and programming communities in Vancouver and spark conversation about collaborating with UK and European artists, centres and projects. In light of Butler's practice, dinner guests are encouraged to participate, sharing their own experiences as cultural producers and bringing a curiosity about how to expand their own practices in light of our shared stories.

A co-presentation between Cineworks Independent Filmmakers Society, DIM Cinema, VIVO Media Arts.
