Festival of Recorded Movement in Richmond
2024-11-08 - 2024-11-16 | Lipont Gallery, 4211 No. 3 Road, Richmond, British Columbia, V6X 2C3, Canada
November 8 – 16, 2024
Festival of Recorded Movement in Richmond
Cultural Centre Annex & Lipont Gallery

Cinevolution, City of Richmond, and Lipont Gallery are partnering with F-O-R-M to bring a taste of the Festival of Recorded Movement to Richmond screens for the first time!

Screens are an integral part of our daily lives, constantly within reach. Yet rarely do we pause to consider what they might offer beyond the everyday. This year’s Public Screens program invites you to engage with these familiar surfaces from a different perspective. Each film, though under 5 minutes, encourages us to step out of our routines and reflect on the pieces of ourselves we don’t often take time to celebrate—the moments that shape us, stay with us, and shift as we move through the world.

Previously only on view in Vancouver, these films can now be experienced at the lobby of the Richmond Cultural Centre Annex (7660 Minoru Gate, Richmond, BC V6Y 1R8) and on the outdoor screens at Lipont Gallery (4211 No. 3 Road Richmond BC across from the Aberdeen Station) throughout the festival period.

A Flock of Seagulls were one of the leading movers of the 1980’s new wave era. Known for their bizarrely teased hair, as much as their hit single “I Ran (So Far Away),” A Flock of Seagulls solidified their place in music history with “Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You),” “Space Age Love Song,” and “The More You Live, The More You Love.” Men Without Hats have been creating iconic, irresistible music for decades. Thirty years ago, they told the world “We can dance if we want to” with their hit “Safety Dance.” A few years later, they said to go “Go pop” with the smash “Pop Goes the World.” Although a lot has changed in music over the years, the Men Without Hats still deliver tracks that get fans moving across the dance floor.
