A/CA's Summer Institute featured a Master Class at York University with German experimental filmmaker Matthias Müller, as well as two programs at the TIFF Bell Lightbox featuring his found footage film works with long-time collaborator Christoph Girardet. The first program consisted of earlier collaborations, and was introduced by Scott Miller Berry. The second program featured more recent works, followed by an onstage conversation with Müller and Catherine Russell (Concordia University).

Along with Philip Hoffman's Film Farm and The Fabulous Festival of Fringe Film, A/CA was honoured to co-present Saugeen Takes on Film's open house with special guest and A/CA Co-Applicant Camille Callison.
