Hi Joel,

In Hamilton ON, Jewel Foster founded a regular series of experimental film
screenings at Hamilton Artists Inc. <http://www.theinc.ca> in 1981. The
series ran for several years. As executive director, I’ve recently been
going through our archive of programs and posters from the series. Let me
know at [email protected] if you are looking for any further information
or archival materials.

Best,

Derek Jenkins
