SLIFF x CAM 1: In-Between Tradition and Tomorrow

CAM is pleased to partner with the annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival to present two programs of short films that explore the world of contemporary art through a cinematic lens. Each evening explores connections between themes in CAM’s current exhibitions with new releases as part of the Festival’s fine arts spotlight.

These events are free and open to the public. Make it a true dinner and a movie! Bring a spread to enjoy during the screenings and snack on complimentary popcorn. Additional refreshments will be available for purchase.

About the Shorts Program: In-Between Tradition and Tomorrow

This short film program celebrates the power of creating in-between forms of expression that honor both past and present. The featured filmmakers’ works resonate in particular with Haegue Yang’s exhibition Quasi-Heartland, in which the artist engages the disciplines of art history, political biography, and folk culture and mythologies. These artworks and short films explore the powerful in-betweenness that artists occupy when carrying cultural traditions forward through the complexities of contemporary life and into the future.

Doors open at 7:00 pm.
