The DOXA Documentary Film Festival presents Talking Landscape: Early Media Works 1974-1984 at The Cinematheque (1131 Howe Street) on Sunday (May 12) at 2:45 p.m.

Talking Landscape is a feature-length documentary by U.S. filmmaker Andrea Callard. The film tells the story of a group of artists, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jenny Holzer, Keith Haring, Kiki Smith, Christy Rupp, and Jack Smith, who put on the legendary art exhibition The Times Square Show in New York in the 1970s. Talking Landscape relives parts of the show through slideshows and short films.

This screening is the Canadian premiere of Talking Landscape and the director will be present.
