The 19th annual Media City experimental film and video festival is taking over Windsor, Ontario, Canada on May 21-25, mostly from the Capitol Theatre & Arts Centre.

After the opening night party on May 21, the fest kicks into high gear on May 22 with a retrospective of the work of Boston-based underground filmmaker Saul Levine, featuring a lineup of some of his Super 8mm and Regular 8 short films made between 1973 and 2003.

The rest of the fest primarily consists of short films from all over the world, including work by Kevin Jerome Everson, Michael Snow, Ben Rivers, Fern Silva, Mary Helena Clark, Friedl vom Gröller, Robert Todd and tons more.

Also, on May 25, there will be a screening of James Benning’s feature-length Stemple Pass, a landscape meditation on the ideas of Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.
