Ongoing Series
DIM Cinema
A monthly series presenting Canadian and international moving-image art in dialogue with cinema. The name is inspired by the diffused Vancouver sky, the darkness of the cinema, and a quote from James Broughton’s Making Light of It (1992): “Movie images are dim reflections of the beauty and ferocity in mankind.”
Screenings are programmed in rotation by a group of local curators and artists comprising Tobin Gibson, the Iris Film Collective, Steff Huì Cí Ling, and Casey Wei.
DIM Cinema is supported by a donation from a longtime friend and colleague of the late Michèle Smith.
DIM Cinema was initiated in 2008 by curator Amy Kazymerchyk. From 2014 to 2024, the series was curated by Smith.
