The 11th edition of KFFC 2024 starting from May 22nd to 31st is on the captivating new theme “Arts & Technologies: Sleep, Dream, Body” co-hosted with the Moving Image Research Lab’s Sociability of Sleep Project at McGill University.

“The Sociality of Sleep” project aims to bridge academic research on the social dimensions of sleep with art. It explores how personal experiences intersect with social issues such as productivity, racial and gender inequalities, and medicalization. We will further explore the intersection of creative works and technological advancements through Asian cinema and media art, encompassing both present and future visual cultures, alongside our audience.

Our activities highlight film and media arts screenings, round tables, workshops related to residency programs, networking events, a screen print handicraft workshop, handmade posters, and merchandise per Arts East-West’s tradition. Visit our new website: https://www.artseastwest.ca/.The
