The 26th annual Images Festival will be taking over Toronto on April 11-20 with an epic series of experimental film screenings, media installations, expanded cinema performances, workshops, artist talks and tons more. With so much going on, the Underground Film Journal is just listing all the screening events below. For everything Images has to offer, please visit their official website.

Before the screenings list, here are some of the highlights:

Opening Night: Accompanying the documentary imagery of prolific filmmaker Robert Todd will be live music performed by electronic music deconstructionist Tim Hecker. Plus, there will be a new audiovisual work by SlowPitch called Emoralis, which pairs images of snails with crackly and droning rhythms.

Closing Night: Corredor will be a live performance piece combining South American imagery by artist Alexandra Gelis, accompanied by live music by drummer Hamid Drake and saxophonist David Mott.

Live Performances: Jodie Mack will provide live vocals of her latest animated rock opera, Dusty Stacks of Mom, which chronicles the fall of her mother’s poster business; while Film: Rope will be a performance recreation of Alfred Hitchcock’s groundbreaking film Rope.

Films: Beautiful People is a newly restored version of the late David Wojnarowicz’s 1987 underground film; Lynne Sachs‘ hybrid Chinese worker documentary Your Day Is My Night; and Adele Horne‘s Maintenance, a meditation on home cleaning. Also, there will be short film retrospectives of Althea Thauberger and Babette Mangolte; and new short work by Jesse McLean, Leslie Supnet, Clint Enns, Georg Koszulinski and more.
