Beautiful Dreamers
Beautiful Dreamers: new avant-garde feminist art cabaret
March 25, 2010
Vancity Theatre
7pm
$15
Beautiful Dreamers is a film and live performance cabaret of new feminist avant-garde art. From surrealism to science fiction, from macabre to the erotic, this event showcases women who conjure the unexpected, the beautiful and the somewhat odd.
These short films and cabaret performances deeply probe and play with non-(Western)traditional, non-formulaic narratives from Vancouver and Canada's most edgy, ingenious women artists. You won't see "talking head" documentaries or classic love stories here. Expect mythology and magic, femme monsters and unlikely heroines, burlesque and a dash of the perverse, and, of course, expect feminist voices heard in new and unexpected ways.
Curated and hosted by Amber Dawn, Director of Programming for the Vancouver Queer Film Festival.
Filmmakers:
Asa Mori
Dana Claxton
Penny Lane
Amber Dawn
Kathryn Jean
Thirza Cuthand
Julie Atlas Muz
Shawna Dempsey
Lorri Millan
Divya Mehra
Freya Bjorg Freya
Leslie Loksi Chan
and more...
Live Performers:
VaVa Vunderbust
Little Woo
Luisa Jojic
April O'Peel
Jonie Gyoza
Morgan Brayton
Edward Malappropriate
Namchi Bazar
and more...
