New feature! Each weekend we’ll celebrate a student film from a past EPFC Youth Workshop.
For our first installment, here’s a 16mm gem from the past that’s still relevant today:
THIS IS THE LA RIVER (2007)
Attention, West Coast Canadian Friends! Underway now is The Sound We See: A Vancouver City Symphony, facilitated by Echo Park Film Center, Gathering Place and Cineworks.
In this screening and talk taking place January 21 at Cineworks, EPFC’s Lisa Marr and Paolo Davanzo will situate the project as part of their international work as socially engaged filmmakers, in which The Sound We See has become a productive tool for crossing borders, challenging social boundaries and facilitating creative inquiry through analogue filmmaking.
Free event! More info on the Cineworks Events page here.
