This town is small is pleased to present Small Screen: Dreams, a screening of experimental short videos by Epekwitk/PEI-based artists that were selected from an open call for submissions. this town is small values experimentation and this screening features finished works, works in progress, and explorations, inviting artists to engage with new techniques and ideas.

The videos respond to the theme “Dreams” through the following prompt: “ Dreams are a creation of the mind. While we sleep, deep within our unconscious, our minds are occupied with expression; creating stories, worlds, sensory experiences, and imagery that abstracts reality. Dreaming can also be a conscious act, a powerful tool used to envision and affect and shape change in the world. Dreams can depict visions of utopia, hazy and distorted perceptions, shape-shifting materiality, imaginative illusions, intangible memories, cherished aspirations, and surrealist fantasies of unlimited potential.”

This screening is presented in partnership with Art in the Open, and supported by the PEI Culture Action Plan through Innovation PEI.
