Join us to celebrate the art of collage and film at Paper Bananas Collage Night. Create your own cut-and-paste masterpieces alongside friends and fellow artists, while a DJ spins an all-vinyl set to keep the energy vibrant and the creativity flowing late into the night.

Join us for an immersive tour of NAC’S media library. Discover the history and techniques behind analog filmmaking, gain practical experience handling film reels, and learn about preservation methods.

A low-stakes experimental improvisation, intended to be ephemeral. More than that, it’s an opportunity to hang with artists and make stuff together. PLUS! This year we’re introducing the Open Projector. Bring your 16mm and 8mm film reels to NAC—whether they are artists' films, found films, or home movies—and we’ll screen them in the Microcinema for everyone to enjoy. Or simply come by to watch and experience these unique films on the big screen!

In this hands-on 16mm colour film workshop you'll shoot with a Bolex camera, develop in the darkroom then project your work on the wall. Participants take home their film clips, a video of their projected work and a detailed handout of information, procedures and resources

Sharpen your storytelling skills in this Writing for the Screen Workshop, where participants explore the fundamentals of screenwriting—from concept and structure to dialogue and visual storytelling. Perfect for emerging writers and filmmakers looking to bring their ideas to life on screen.
