A note from local filmmaker Cameron Tingley about his free screening tomorrow, June 5, 2013 at the Danforth/Coxwell library, rom 6:30-8:00 p.m.
Modern society …. we’re all part of it.
But how often do we step back from the hubbub of daily life to look at it with fresh eyes?
Local filmmaker / visual humourist Cameron Tingley presents his series of short live-action films LIFE AS WE KNOW IT at the Danforth/Coxwell Public Library, 1675 Danforth Ave. (east of Coxwell) on Wednesday, June 5th 2013 from 6:30 to 8:00 PM.
With the theatrical troupe The Flying Spot Players, Cameron has produced a collection of short films that offer a humorous yet thought-provoking look at our modern world and the times we live in.
Based on his unique observations of human behaviour, the films make you laugh, think and wonder, all at the same time.
“Modern life in the developed world is moving at a dizzying pace”, says the filmmaker. “We are losing sight of the relationship between our individual actions and the general condition of our culture and our environment. These little movies are meant to put a face on those relationships to help bring the underlying connections and patterns to the fore.”
Pollution, advertising, popular culture, electronic communication, consumerism, and social etiquette are some of the topics that are examined in the various films.
The program of shorts is interspersed with personal commentary by Cameron about what motivated him to make each movie and how he approaches each subject.
