We live in a crowded media environment where there’s a constant competition for attention.

Keeping things short is a great way to stand out.

In this unmissable event, we’ll be featuring speakers whose short works convey a message succinctly and beautifully. Presentations will be followed by a Q&A and mingling.

Presenter Lineup:

Every week, FILMARTIST Productions (http://filmartist.ca/) shoots and edits a 30-second video profile of a Toronto artist. FILMARTIST director Paris Zheng will be showing some of her favourite videos, and will talk about the creative workflow of making short videos. She’ll give us a sense of how to express an idea within the constraints of 30 seconds.

Dan Tapper
Code Poems (http://visualcodepoems.tumblr.com/) is a daily art meditation generated by computer code. Dan Tapper makes this code artwork in a style inspired by zen poetry and haiku. The works celebrate the simplicity and beauty that can be found in code.

Gustavo Cerquera Benjumea
Colombian-born and Toronto-based digital media artist, animator, and teacher, Gustavo Cerquera Benjumea was challenged to produce a short animated film during a one-week residency with the Toronto Animated Image Society. He'll show the film and talk about how this experience taught him about his creative process.
