Regional Support Network
Regional Support Network [Clint Enns & Leslie Supnet] was a nomadic screening series started in Toronto, Ontario out of a desire to show experimental moving images from other cities unmediated by a Toronto curatorial lens. The series ran from 2014-2017.
Vector Festival
Vector Festival was created by Skot Deeming, kris kim, Katie Micak, and myself in 2013. The inaugural edition of Vector Game + Art Convergence ran for five days featuring more than seventy artists, scholars, and makers participated in our multi-venue programming, which included:
3 exhibitions
5 screenings
3 panel discussions
2 evenings of live performance and
4 workshops.
The flagship exhibition Other Worlds was curated by Prosthetic Knowledge and mrghosty (Skot Deeming) while net.works and Ludacy were curated collectively. I was mainly responsible for programming the screening component of the festival, but collectively we all helped to install the work and to make the festival run smoothly. I continued to program the screening component of the festival until 2018, co-programming with Amber Christensen in 2016 and Jenny Western in 2018.
Language Formed in Light
Language Formed in Light was a screening series I created, presented by PLATFORM centre for photographic + digital arts in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 2010. The series consisted of solo screenings by Shana Moulton, Ben Russell, Michael Robinson, Barry Doupé & Aleesa Cohene.
In Uptown Magazine, Steven Leyden Cochrane wrote a short review of Language Formed in Light:
“Any selection of experimental films touted to explore issues of narrative touches upon two of my most cherished bigotries — toward “experimental film” itself and against the cloying, characteristically Canadian preoccupation with telling (or not-telling) stories. But here was a series of screenings, curated by Clint Enns and humanely spread out over several weeks, that elegantly argued the merits of both. Should Enns ever tackle neo-Surrealist figurative painting or new-agey performance art, I’d have to find new things to hate.”1
