WUFF 13 continues Friday, June 5, 8:30 PM at the @wfgcinematheque with “What Holds Us Here," Featuring five short works by Kyath Battie, Yuula Benivolski, mystery byrd, Daniel Márquez, and Sam Taffel + Gillian Waldo. 🦆 ⛲ Belonging is a political condition, shaped and (un)settled as much by architecture, environment, and colonial history, as by our traditions, loved ones, and own sense of self. Place is a constructed, contested field, not stable ground, continuously negotiated and redefined. Through essayistic, documentary and experimental forms, six filmmakers and five films explore what it means to belong where you are, and how the forces that impart meaning might be resisted or embraced. This program is rated PG | Total runtime 58.5 minutes Images from mystery byrd’s b.longing (1,4), Kyath Battie’s Super, Natural (2), Yuula Benivolski’s You May Laugh at Me a Little (3), Daniel Marquez’s Behind the Statues (5), Gillian Waldo and Sam Taffel’s Learning from Learning from Las Vegas (6,7) @k.bad.e @benivuula @mysteryy.vsa @luzsuave.film @the_craplord @blueplate.special

My friend Kyath Battie's film 'Super, Natural,' which I did some music for, and which just screened at the Museum of the Moving Image in NY, is coming to Vancouver tomorrow night as part of the @xin3ma 'Controlled Demolition' film program. If you're into experimental film, this event looks really amazing. The time and location are at the end of the trailer.

This coming Sunday eve, 8:30pm, outside XINEMA’s Feldhouse❕ . . . Through chemically destructive processes, material intervention, and chance, authorship opens to contingency and unpredictability, considering how control can be both constructed and destabilized. This tension reflects our current culture, marked by an acute awareness of instability, where systems that once promised order or coherence feel increasingly fragile. In this program, control becomes a negotiation that is partial and illusory, creating a structure shaped by adaptation, persistence, and the reimagination of what holds us together. Featuring: Mother Nature (Canada, 2026) by Cooper // #Cooper Super, Natural (Canada, 2025) by Kyath Battie // @k.bad.e Dreams Not Remembered (USA, 2023) by Dominick Rivers // @floralcowstudios Moth Print (USA, 2023) by Sarah Bliss // @sarahbliss8313 Investigation Frog: An Introduction (USA, 2025) by Kristin Reeves // @reeves_machine On The Glue (Canada, 2025) by Dave Johnson // @nilairtime lost fps // they come out in the dark (Latvia, 2023) by oneanders // @sinccha Three Years On (USA, 2019) by Robert Schaller // #RobertSchaller Thanatophobia (Latvia/Ireland, 2022) by Ieva Balode // @virsotnes and Michael Higgins // @mgmhiggins Guest curated by Dominick Rivers This program will conclude with a special screening of the Eco-mordançage & the Moving Image workshop results & an in-person Q+A with visiting filmmakers Dominick Rivers, Kyath Battie, Robert Schaller and more (TBD).

On Sunday May 17, XINEMA will be hosting our first outdoor event of the year, Controlled Demolition: an experimental film program guest curated by Dominick Rivers // @floralcowstudios. Controlled Demolition Sunday, May 17, 8:30pm 5050 Wales Street, Norquay Park This program aims to expand the notion of destruction beyond spectacle or finality to consider what it means to dismantle and to transform, and how, within these processes, new meanings might take shape. Featured 16mm films by Ieva Balode // @virsotnes + Michael Higgins // @mgmhiggins, Kyath Battie // @k.bad.e, Sarah Bliss // @sarahbliss8313, Cooper // #Cooper, Dave Johnson // @nilairtime, oneanders // @sinccha, Kristin Reeves // @reeves_machine, Dominick Rivers, and Robert Schaller // #RobertSchaller approach this topic from a number of angles. Some turn toward the natural world to reveal systems already under stress, while others trace how social and psychological infrastructures fracture, exposing patterns of addiction and mental health that suggest breakdown is deeply intimate and systemic. . . This program will conclude with a special screening of the Eco-mordançage & the Moving Image workshop results & an in-person Q+A with visiting filmmakers Dominick Rivers, Kyath Battie, Robert Schaller and more (TBD). Total program time (without workshop footage): 37 min This program will be held outside of our Norquay Park Fieldhouse. Please dress appropriately and bring blankets or lawn chairs to sit on the grass, as there will be limited seating available. Arrive early to secure the best spot. Accessible public bathrooms are open until 9pm; afterwards, indoor bathrooms will be available via a short ramp and 29” doorways. Sound can be loud, but earplugs can be provided free of charge. In the case of inclement weather, the screening area will be rainproofed. Please keep an eye on your social for updates. More info + tickets available through the link in our bio 🔗🔗🔗 If you require further financial or physical accommodation, please email info@xinema.ca Special thanks to the City of Bloomington Arts Commission // @bloomingtonartscommission for funding this project.

Pleased to be taking part in this stacked film program, co-curated by Tristin Greyeyes and @k.bad.e in time for International Women’s Day. ‘Blindfold’ repurposes footage of a performance film from an earlier time in my life, set to a song from Natural Sympathies’ 2022 home-recorded album, ‘At the Limits of Earth’…

Pleased to share my poem Rattlesnakes, which I read and recorded for the short film Fissures (2025) by Mike Rollo with a soundtrack by Andrea-Jane Cornell. The film is currently at various festivals (current screening list on fourth slide). Excerpt from the film is linked in bio xo I’m grateful for the early readers and writing groups who have helped guide this writing to its final (?) form - thank you ❤️ Slides 2+3 are film stills from Fissures. Slide 5 is a photo of yours truly in Claybank, Saskatchewan, photographed by Kyath Battie for Natural Sympathies
