As part of the 2022 Nuit Blanche festival, CineMobilia is being launched by Archive/Counter-Archive with an all-night, outdoor micro-cinema installation and screening programme. The micro-cinema space will be located across the street from the Archives of Ontario on York University's Keele campus. The screening programme will start at 7 pm, run throughout the rest of the evening, and involve many drop-in talks by artists.

Join us for another online iteration of the Archive/Counter-Archive Working Papers Series, which brings together PhD students from different Universities to hear about exciting doctoral research in the area of archival studies. Our next speaker is Theo Xenophontos, who is a PhD candidate in the Cinema and Media Studies program at York University. Theo’s talk will be followed by a Q&A with the audience, moderated by our student organizers, Emily Barton and Elina Lex.

As part of the Mighty Niagara Film Festival on August 24th, join us for a strata-walk around St. Catharines followed by a rooftop screening at the Niagara Artists Centre!

The participatory mapping exercise, led by researchers Taien Ng-Chan, Lee Rodney, and Donna Akrey, will take its prompts from the mediated history of the region. A walk-book will be provided for participants with creative questions, prompts, and drawing spaces, and the walkshop will loop back to the NAC to conclude with an experimental screening presentation.
