LEVERS preceeded by NaAC Super 8 films

We are incredibly excited to host the Alberta Premiere of Rhayne Vermette’s LEVERS! Shot in saturated 16mm film on broken Bolex cameras, Levers mixes in-camera fx with a delicate eye for beauty, portraying an exploration of communal mourning through a potent mixture of the rarity of fantasy and the idleness of the everyday.

This feature length film is preceded by a screening and Q+A of Super 8 films by filmmakers from the National accessArts Centre.

Digital Projected Program + $100 Films

On the closing night of our 31st Artifact festival, we celebrate both international excellence and homegrown enthusiasm in analog film. The evening begins with highlights curated from global submissions, paired with the premiere of new works created by local filmmakers under the banner of the $100 Film Festival: a filmmaking challenge where creators receive one roll of Super 8 film- the original namesake of the Artifact Film Festival.
