VISIONS is a monthly screening series presenting non-fiction cinema and artists’ moving image. Curated by Benjamin R. Taylor in Montreal since 2014. They exhibit non-fiction cinema and artists’ moving image at local venues and festivals including la Cinémathèque québécoise, la lumière collective, Cinéma public, RIDM, FNC, POP Montréal and Cinéma moderne. Presentations are dedicated to a single artist. Artists are always present. Original formats are projected.

By night, la lumière collective is a microcinema exhibiting film, video & expanded cinema by local and international artists. They are one of the only venues in Montréal presenting 16mm, 35mm and expanded cinema. Every event features an artist in person and is followed by a Q&A and audience discussion. By day la lumière collective is an artists’ studio and residency space with production resources for working on various moving-image media. The collective is run by local artists and curators who believe in creating cinema and cinema spaces on a human scale. We facilitate events in order to bring people together. We create connections to expand and enliven cinema.
