Hello, friends
it’s summer, we feel it, and here it is – a last minute invitation to another one screening of “Plateau”.
The other day we met Dominic in a small Spanish village and he said he was a pirate.
Is he one ? Indeed. He steels images from the Internet, reshaping them and then adding to his own bibliotheque – a pirate of the Internet. Stuck to his computer in Montreal with a real eyepatch – a pirate of the North. On Thursday we’ll watch one of the results of his piracy.
Oh, and rumor has it, that Dominic is coming out here this autumn to present his newest mashup “Going South” (2018) and to hang out in Vilnius. But for now, we are not going to the south, but turning “of the North” to see what was banned and can now be screened only in types of plateau’s as ours.
Well, for those who wanna be prepared,
read a bit more about Dominic
Dominic Gagnon in his film “Of the North” (74 min, 2016) challenges notion of documentary and ethnographic cinema by editing the footage shot mainly by indigenous communities from the Arctic. With the ambition to become a modern version of “Nanook of the North” (Robert J. Flaherty, 1922), this film caused a scandal in Canada and was censored. However, in spite of controversial criticism, it already earned a place in the history of cinema.

See you of the North, on Thursday, plz

“Plateau” was founded in the winter of 2015. We were looking for ways to understand each other and the world through films, while having warm and simple conversations. It was created not in need to correct or comment on films, but rather to accompany them through a shared experience.
