About

UBC Film Society presents a daring double feature of epic masterpieces on the theme of this year's UBC ARTIVISM Festival "Heart on Fire ~ Love ignites revolution." Princess Mononoke (6:15PM) With its epic story and breathtaking visuals, Princess Mononoke is a landmark in the world of animation. and Tropical Malady (8PM) Tropical Malady forsakes straight narrative lines and easy answers in favor of an utterly unique drama that leaves a lingering, dreamlike impact. Keng is a soldier stationed in a quiet Thai village who encounters local boy and the pair begin a tentative romance. Then, in a surreal move typical of director Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the film splinters into a story about another soldier searching for a lost boy in the jungle and meeting a vexing spirit. @ Performance Theatre UBC Nest

UBC Arts & Culture District

This event is presented as part of the UBC Arts & Culture District's 8th annual ARTIVISM Festival. This year the theme of the festival as articulated by student Artistic Director Jesse Metros is "Heart On Fire" which highlights love as a revolutionary force. This year’s festival celebrates existing cultures of care, and invites new realities centered on compassion. Through radically creative spaces and marginalized artistic expressions, we invite you to ignite love towards liberation & set oppressive systems ablaze.

Produced by UBC Arts and Culture District with 2024 festival Artistic Director Jesse Medros, in partnership with the Exposure UBC student club team, this annual festival highlights stories of resilience and both community and student activist art that challenges dominant narratives through live performances, poetry, music and more. There is something for everyone; the events include a wide range of in-person activities.
