The Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT) is Canada's foremost artist-run centre for independent filmmakers. LIFT is a non-profit organization that provides affordable access to equipment, educational programs and community for those who want to make films out of a passion for and commitment to the practice of filmmaking. http://www.lift.on.ca

The fifth installment of the Strategies of the Medium series is dedicated to artist film in 35mm. Often perceived as an inaccessible format and/or one geared towards industry uses, there is a growing circle of DIY filmmakers from around the world using 35mm in affordable, creative and unexpected ways. This screening explores the diversity of their practices from cameraless animation to sparse structural works. The program complements 35mm courses offered in the LIFT winter 2010 workshop season: 35mm Filmmaking: An Overview and Introduction to the 35mm Animation Stand.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with filmmakers Kelly Egan and Steven Woloshen.
