Join us for aCinema’s Annual Screening Series, featuring a weekend of six programs curated by Takahiro Suzuki and Janelle VanderKelen! We are thrilled to welcome them back to the gallery for this special, condensed presentation, which comprises aCinema’s Season 10. The first two screenings will feature works selected from the aDifferent Program open call held this winter, which received over 300 submissions from around the globe. The weekend will then progress to four curated screenings featuring works by Curtis Chin, Clara Jost, Chester Toye, and many more!
