Broken Dreams: Selected Works of Clint Enns

Presented by Collectif Jeune Cinéma in Paris, France at the Le Grand Action Cinema on February 25, 2026. Presented by LABO L’ARGENT in Marseille, France on February 22, 2026.

Born in Winnipeg and now based in Montreal, Clint Enns is an artist whose work refuses to sit still or behave itself. Having studied mathematics before turning toward cinema, Enns brings a systems-minded curiosity to images that are anything but orderly. His films are eclectic works that resist easy classification, built largely from found material and low-tech processes: mangled analogue film, screen-captured video chats, deconstructed video games, ASCII animations, toy cameras, Super 8, and footage scavenged from the Internet. Errors are invited, not corrected. An antidote to the hyper-clean tyranny of high-definition images and a sideways jab at overly solemn avant-garde.

Algorithms shape the images, but so does a sense of play. The jokes are visual, structural, and occasionally lowbrow. This program offers a dense microcosm of electronic debris and images that aren’t afraid to fail.

Welcome to the broken dream.
