OUTER WORLDS in IMAX - Janine Marchessault, Leila Sujir and Catherine Mondragon Interview

Listen to Christian Zyp interview Janine Marchessault (curator), Leila Sujir (artist/filmmaker) and Catherine Mondragon about a FREE screening presented by the Public Access Collective. On Thursday, October 9 at 7 p.m., see OUTER WORLDS at the Telus World of Science IMAX Theatre in Edmonton. This cross Canada program features five experimental IMAX films by leading Canadian artists: Michael Snow, Lisa Jackson, Oliver Husain, Kelly Richardson, and Leila Sujir. The program is curated by York University professor Janine Marchessault, who will be at the opening of the event.

The evening begins with a rare screening of North of Superior (1971), one of the very first IMAX films ever shown in Canada, returning to Edmonton’s historic IMAX Dome Theatre for this special occasion. Directed by Graeme Ferguson, co-inventor of IMAX, North of Superior was commissioned by Ontario Place for the 1971 opening of the Cinesphere in Toronto, the world’s first permanent IMAX theatre. The film takes the viewer on a breathtakingly immersive tour of the Northern Superior region in Ontario. Its form and techniques would have a massive influence on IMAX documentaries in the decades to follow.

There will be a post screening Q&A with Janine Marchessault and Leila Sujir.
