Join us for a special screening  of three short filmic works by the Montreal based artist Jacynthe Carrier followed by a conversation between the artist and RU Program Director Boshko Boskovic.

The exploration of mise en scène and performance in modern-day territory are central themes in  Carrier’s practice. Often abstract in narrative, her work uses the mechanics of choreography and cinematography. The artist will discuss her working methods, inspirations and process of film making.
