Programming

Sophie presents Me at the zoo, a program that portrays a gluttonous system through six art videos made between 1990 and 2010. Taking as a point of departure the idea that the video clips that proliferate on the internet are a fast-growing product of consumerism mirroring by the uncontrolled flow of capital, the curator is interested in the aesthetic of the ephemeral content that is generated by users every day. The program follows an exponential and metaphorical trajectory, with the medium becoming increasingly abstract, as if the videos consume themselves. 

Scale-Model Sadness was presented on January 22nd, 2025 with the filmmaker Robert Morin in attendance, as part of the vidéo-club series, a Vidéographe initiative in collaboration with Cinéma Moderne. Every three months, Vidéographe invites cinephiles and curious to an evening of screening and discussion around a program drawn from works in the collection.
 

First works brings together the first short films of recognized artists in the film industry. Through the programming of these nine films made between 1988 and 2019, Vidéographe celebrates the importance of audacity and experimentation in the journey of several unique voices in Quebec and Canadian cinema.
