Pleasure Dome is an artist-run presentation organization and publisher dedicated to experimental media.
Mission
Pleasure Dome is an artist-run presentation organization and publisher dedicated to experimental media. Our organization is committed to presenting artists who expand, fracture, and scrutinize the traditional cinematic spectacle, including those who use moving image technologies that are digital, interactive, or performative.
Mandate
Pleasure Dome is mandated to:
- foster an appreciation for art expressed in the media of moving images of all formats
- engage, educate, and generate excitement for underrepresented cinema from local, Candian and international artists’, for people interested in the arts and the general public
- present a variety of different genres, styles, and approaches from historical to contemporary strategies of cinematic spectacle, disruption and other attempts to re-imagine the experimental media tradition
- screen innovative works in engaging and “expanded” presentations, including installation and other unconventional exhibition formats.
Our screenings are hosted year-round and in a variety of venues. We almost exclusively program short length works, and prioritize the presentation of works by women, BIPOC folks, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQ2S+ persons.
