06.07.17 | FROM DEEP
Brett Kashmere | 2013 | HD video | 88 minutes
“Part sociological treatise, part mix tape, Canadian director Brett Kashmere’s
ambitious documentary, From Deep, delivers a high-energy history of the
three-decade love affair between basketball and rap.” – The Globe and Mail
[Filmmaker present]

07.07.17 | DEEP PLAY : SPORT & EXPERIMENTAL MEDIA
Curated by Brett Kashmere
"This program offers a cross-section of the ways that athletics have been
treated historically in artists’ film and video; from examinations of the
vernacular and sports’ mass mediation, to interplays with its accoutrements,
geographies, architectures, and audiovisual grammar. My intention in exploring
the convergence of sports and experimental media (more accurately, the
induction of sports into experimental media), is to suggest an equivalence of
practice, skill, and flow, and to nudge a conversation. What can the media arts
provide formal and critical analyses of sport? And conversely, how might
popular conceptions of sport inform and enrich nontraditional approaches to the
representation and examination of athletics on screen? Here I conceive of the
relationship as a non-zero-sum game, where both sides (potentially) benefit.
Or, alternately, one that opens a space for productive failures." - B.K.
