XINEMA is an ongoing series that showcases emerging and established experimental filmmakers within and around “Vancouver”, BC. They aim to strengthen and preserve the experimental film scene by creating a space for open conversation, skill-sharing, and
community. Programs will usually occur every third Sunday of the month.
Program 5: Earth as Womb
What happens between birth and death? Earth as Womb invokes the existential feeling you get when you remember you’re a living entity on a floating ball in space. This program illustrates earth as a foreign site of creation, sustenance, and destruction; encompassing life’s experiences through personal contemplations, precarious documentation, and a karaoke sing-along.

Also Playing
His Three Daughters
Three sisters -- Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olson, and Natasha Lyonne -- congregate to attend the final few days of their father's life. They bring with them years of barely-repressed jealousy and resentment, as well as wildly different personalities.
Girls Will Be Girls
A prize-winner at Sundance, Shuchi Talati’s sensitive debut feature is an unusual coming-of-age drama for its nuanced and sympathetic portrait of mother-daughter dynamics in a sexually repressive culture; it doesn’t go where you expect.
Singing Back the Buffalo
Driven to the point of extinction in the 19th century, the buffalo is proving more resilient than once feared. Tasha Hubbard's rhapsodic doc weaves personal reflection, animated tales, observational reportage and gorgeous nature footage.
