Screenings

Flux, Fall 2025

The Flux Screening Series brings the creative community together for a night of outstanding short films and music videos, featuring wildly inventive filmmaker presentations and performances.

Our fall program travels through the sights and sounds of international cities. We are proud to present the world premiere of Kyiv from electronic music artist Apashe, featuring Alina Pash. Filmed on 35mm in the capital during the ongoing war, the video showcases an extraordinary lineup of Ukrainian artists and marks the latest collaboration between Montreal-based director Adrian Villagomez and Apashe. 

Fresh from its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, Hannah Cheesman joins us to present Marriaginalia, a surreal story of married life told across a single day in three parts. With Hundred Acres, Flux alum Daren Rabinovitch of Encyclopedia Pictura and Noname take us on a magical bike ride through an urban alley, pursued by a mysterious, cat-like figure.

Gilly Barnes’s lyrical documentary The Theory of Spice—narrated by Jon Batiste and Rizo—journeys through India, Sri Lanka, and Guatemala, exploring the unique histories of cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger. Viktor Horvath, LA-based founding member of the Hungarian collective Kinopravda, presents PRESSO, shot in Budapest for his countryman Dzsúdló.

This fall saw the release of one of the year’s most remarkable music videos, Rosalía’s Berghain. The track features Björk, Yves Tumor, and the London Symphony Orchestra, uniting three singular sonic worlds. Directed by Nicolás Méndez of CANADA and filmed entirely in Warsaw, the epic video captures Rosalía performing with the orchestra in a powerful visual meditation on sound that is distinctly human. The lineup spans comedy, dance, drama, animation, and music videos for Jianbo, La Lá, Uzi Freyja, Xinobi and more.

Special guests include Encyclopedia Pictura, Gilly Barnes, Hannah Cheesman, Viktor Horvath, and Alina Pash, followed by a courtyard after-party with DJ Maddy Maia.
