Big Kiss Goodnight, of joetalk100 door Dominic Gagnon Big Kiss Goodnight, of joetalk100 door Dominic Gagnon
Op 5 juli 2012 vertoonde Impakt ‘Big Kiss Goodnight’ van Dominic Gagnon. De film was het resultaat van zijn verblijf als resident artist begin dit jaar. Het portret van joetalk100 liet het publiek achter met de vraag wat ze gezien hadden; joetalk100 of een werk van de hand van Dominic Gagnon. Wat is de waarheid? Bestaat er eigenlijk wel iets als waarheid in film?

Daniel Cockburn and all the mistakes to make. Daniel Cockburn and all the mistakes to make.
Studenten, professionele filmmakers en liefhebbers kwamen bijeen op het hoofdkantoor van Impakt voor de workshop van filmmaker en videokunstenaar Daniel Cockburn. Met een succesvolle vertoning van zijn eerste speelfilm You Are Here op het Impakt festival dit jaar en gelauwerd om zijn zeldzame literaire talent, was ik benieuwd hoe een les in script schrijven zou zijn van Toronto’s beste nieuwe videokunstenaar.
