Join us and
@tiny____hours at
@westside_studio for an evening that blends film, memory, and creative expression. We’ll screen REW-FFWD, a 30-minute experimental film exploring home, culture, and the quiet stories held in everyday objects.
After the film, the space transforms into a still-life studio featuring familiar items found in Jamaican households. Objects that hold warmth, history, and lived experience. Bring a sketchbook or use the materials provided, and spend time drawing, connecting, and reflecting.
Proceeds from ticket sales will go straight to Connek in Jamaica. Many Trans and 2SLGBTQIA+ folks are among the most affected by hurricane Melissa. We hope you’ll come out, get creative, be inspired and support an amazing grassroots organization.
About the film, REW-FFWD:
REW-FFWD (1994), directed by Denis Villeneuve, follows a photographer whose car breaks down in a Kingston neighbourhood, forcing him to spend several days in an unfamiliar environment. Told through a fragmented, VCR-like “memory puzzle” style, the film traces his shift from shock and preconceived bias to a deeper, more attentive way of seeing. As he listens, observes, and allows himself to be present, he realizes that the images he once planned to bring home (pretty and surface-level) could never speak honestly about Jamaica.
