will be broadcast 24/7 every half hour on the 29th and 59th minutes.
Featured for the month of October is Jillian Macdonald's 'Screen Kiss'
& Manu Luksch's 'Movie Stars'.

Jillian Macdonald's Screen Kiss is a web project/video featuring
several popular actors including Daniel Day Lewis, Vincent Gallo,
Johnny Depp, and Angelina Jolie. Macdonald inserts herself into existing
film scenes as stand-in for the actresses being kissed by or engaged in
other gestures of romance with these actors.

Manu Luksch's Movie Stars was filmed at the shores of Koh Yao Yai in
Thailand - the only place where star fish can be trained as actors.

Join us in the square on August 3rd at 8pm for a 2 hour opening launch
performance at Dundas Square with image vjs fluid & faux amie +
