Hamilton Artists Inc. invites you to join us during May Art Crawl for a special in-person screening of the imagineNATIVE  Film + Media Arts Festival Short Films Focus program “Generational Legacies”. We will be screening this film program in our ArcelorMittal Dofasco Courtyard during the entirety of Art Crawl between 7-10pm. The program includes 79 minutes of film, so the entire program will be shown twice over the course of the night!

This program features a dynamic selection of six short films created by Indigenous filmmakers, all of which were presented at the 2022 imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival. This short film program reflects on the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next and honouring where you and your ancestors have come from.

The Hamilton Artists Inc has a mask policy for our indoor spaces. Masks are encouraged but not mandatory in the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Courtyard. We encourage our visitors to observe Inc. policy at all times for the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, and visitors.
