Friday, August 26 Remix! Artists Remake the Media These films explore ‘sampling’ culture—the irreverent scavenging of media images, reworking them to make new cultural objects. They tamper with, remix and finally, re-animate stereotypical media messages. Saturday, August 27 Campaign: The Making of a Candidate A smart, insider look at David Miller’s victorious bid for the Toronto Mayor’s seat. With a sharp eye for detail and a dynamic sense of narrative, filmmaker Andrew Munger presents a timely take on the politics of Canada’s largest city.
