Flux, Summer 2024

  • This is a past program

The Flux screening series brings the creative community together to celebrate outstanding short films and music videos from around the globe, with wildly inventive filmmaker presentations and performances.

The summer edition of Flux features the world premiere of The Mark On The Wall, a stunning new short film from Anderson Wright, based on the first published story by Virginia Woolf. Toronto-based Director X, known for his work with Drake, Rihanna, Rosalia, and Kendrick Lamar, visited Côte d'Ivoire with French artist Soprano to capture the joyous Facile à Danser (Easy to Dance). Filmmaker and musician Haroula Rose, whose sophomore feature film All Happy Families releases this fall, will present her meditative short Your Own Good written by Catherine Lacey and featuring Sharon Van Etten. Additionally, Bug, a tautly wound short set in a near-future South Korea, is part of the exciting sci-fi anthology A Thousand Suns, written by directors Tim Hyten and Macgregor.

The eclectic lineup of films includes comedy, dance, documentary, music, and animation and features new music videos for Acid ArabBashyDoechiiNemahsisRM, and more.

Special in-person guests include Director XTim HytenMacgregorHaroula Rose, and Anderson Wright. A courtyard after-party follows with special guest DJ Christine Mai Nguyen.
