Cineworks and Iris Film Collective present a SWARM 18 event:
Resident's Choice A Program of Films Curated by Amanda Thomson Cineworks Annex Artist in Residence
Friday, September 8 at 9 PM - 9:40 PM Fair weather: Crab Park, E Waterfront Rd, Vancouver Rain venue: Cineworks Annex, Ironworks basement, 235 Alexander St, Vancouver (driveway)
Program: David Rimmer: Canadian Pacific 1 Amanda Thomson: Sleeping Mountains Lie Robert Schaller: In the Shadow of Marcus Mountain Lindsay McIntyre: In the Backyarden Amanda Thomson: Good Night Birthday When viewed from Point Grey the North Shore Mountains take on the silhouette of a sleeping woman. This idea has followed me around for at least a decade. In 2014 I made Sleeping Mountains Lie in response, but she persisted. For the last couple of years I have been working on a film that reworks the theme set out in SML, reuses its opening shot and finishes by taking it further East. Who is this woman, what have we made of her, where is her voice? This program does not answer these questions, as I hope the forthcoming film will. Instead it lends what I have tentatively titled “The Mountain’s View” some context. - Amanda Thomson Amanda Thomson is a filmmaker from Vancouver. Her work focuses on perspective, the subconscious and other things she can’t quite put her finger on. She is drawn to film by the tactile quality of the medium, and by its shifting nature in grain and cultural significance. Amanda studied Film Video and Integrated Media at Emily Carr University receiving a Bachelor of Media Arts in 2009. In 2014 she helped form Iris Film Collective who are currently in residence at Falaise Fieldhouse, Vancouver, as part of a program offered through the Vancouver Parks Board. Amanda recently returned from Paris where she developed what will be her next 16mm film at L’Abominable. While in Europe she presented a program of films from the collective at L’Alternativa’s Parallel on Independent Film Labs in Barcelona, in LaborBerlin’s annual screening Difraktion and at L’Etna in Paris. SWARM is a 2-night event that marks the launch of Vancouver's artist-run centre (ARC) programming season with exhibition openings, performances, screenings and special events. Artist-run Centres (ARCs) are collectives and non-profit organizations, run by artists, supporting new and innovative practices in the arts. With a rich history that spans over forty years, ARCs have had a significant impact on the cultural ecology in Canada and around the world.

Happy to read that Tampines has the highest 'voter turnout rate". It shows that residents are taking an active approach in estate matters. Colour and design preference is very subjective. There is no way to please everyone. A resident emailed me recently to suggest certain panels to be painted in bright colours to complement the black and white look. I explained that Tampines Town Council could not do so after the most number of residents had voted for the Tudor concept. She subsequently responded that after seeing more blocks decked in black and white, they looked "quite nice actually". :) Mr Leong had told The Straits Times that he preferred the old red brick facades because taxi drivers knew where the red brick flats in Tampines are. Hopefully in time to come, taxi drivers will also know where the black and white flats are! :) And the area will become an icon of Tampines. #TampinesTudor #TampinesTownCouncil #residentschoice
It may just be two colours of black and white. However, the right mix and design is critical to create the desired look. Tampines Town Council went through a few variations with the painting contractor before deciding on the final one. #tampinestudor #residentschoice #tampinestowncouncil
Getting a new coat of paint and a fresh look. #TampinesTownCouncil #TampinesTudor #residentschoice
Results are out for the colour scheme polls by residents of Tampines Blks 491A-H, 492B-D, 493A-E, 494B-C, 495A-F and 496B-G. Based on 42% of households which took part, the black & white option (scheme 2) was the favourite at 38%, beating scheme 3 by just 1%. Most residents wanted a change as only 25% voted to keep the existing colour scheme (scheme 1). Tampines Town Council will proceed with the repainting shortly. Soon, residents can look forward to a new look for the precinct. Thank you for your participation. #TampinesTownCouncil #residentschoice #TampinesTudor
