SUMMARY:"Re:Construct(ion)" at undercurrents
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE SHOW\n\n\n\nA trans man and his idealized cis self greet onlookers and invite them to be their most authentic\, relaxed selves… or else. Through a ritual-like process—cake-decorating\, sharing stories of being seen exactly as they want to be\, interactive (and competitive) drawing exercises\, and question after question after question after question after question—the two make every painstaking effort to get it right this time. They collide. They write letters. They try to show each other what they see. They explain the physics of making a pad adhere to the sides of boxer shorts. Confetti falls. Cake flies. They interrogate the ever-changing distance between what is and what could be. They make a pretty big mess. And every time\, they try again.  \n\n\n\nABOUT UNDERCURRENTS\n\n\n\nFor over a decade\, Ottawa’s undercurrents festival has been showcasing some of the most innovative and thought-provoking works of art from local and national artists. The programming is diverse and always fresh\, featuring everything from experimental theatre to live music performances\, from solo shows to full productions. The undercurrents team believes in giving a platform to emerging artists and voices that are underrepresented in mainstream media.  \n\n\n\nACCESSIBILITY \n\n\n\nVenue: wheelchair accessible  \n\n\n\nShow: Audience Participation\, Flashing Lights/Video\, Mature Language\, Sexual Content\, Gender Dysphoria.  \n\n\n\nEar plugs provided.  \n\n\n\nRecommended for ages 14+.  \n\n\n\nApprox 45-minute runtime.  \n\n\n\nPerformed either in English or French\, with surtitles in the opposite language. Audio description available for English performance on February 7 at 7 pm.  \n\n\n\nMore information on accessibility on the undercurrents website: https://ottawafringe.com/show/reconstruct/

SUMMARY:SHIFT Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Shift Film Festival is an intimate\, intentional film experience created by Labia Cinematica to spotlight bold\, tender\, and radical stories by women and gender non-conforming filmmakers\, with a strong focus on Black and queer voices. \n\n\n\nThis first edition is designed as more than just a screening. It’s a space to gather\, feel\, and connect through cinema that explores identity\, pleasure\, intimacy\, resistance\, and healing.

Whether you’re a filmmaker\, artist\, student\, or simply someone who loves powerful storytelling\, this festival is for you. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect:  \n\n\n\n\nA curated selection of creative works by women\, non-binary & trans women directors\n\n\n\nPost-screening Q&A and discussion\n\n\n\nNetworking with artists\, creatives\, and community members\n\n\n\n\nShift Film Festival is about creating space for our stories\, our bodies\, our desires\, our softness\, and our power. We can’t wait to welcome you. \n\n\n\nReclaim the Gaze.
