Democrascope is a cine lab inviting you to help define the moment. We are looking for short videos on the theme of democracy in genres ranging from documentary to experimental, narrative, performance-based, sci-fi, etc. The videos will be programmed into Democrascope an installation drawing connections between the early history of cinema as public spectacle (such as Montreal’s Ouimetoscope inviting people to “Venez en foule” – come en masse) and contemporary crowd-sourced media culture.
A typical film program at the turn of the 20th century included politics, news items, human interest stories, anecdotal observations of every day life, of nature, of eccentric events. The films had titles like Trouble in a Basement, The Czar, The Last Collar Button, Niagara Falls, From Socialism to Nihilism. The exhibition will take place at Joyce Yahouda Gallery Montreal October 11-November 5.
