I Am The Bridge is a unique outdoor screening event hosted by PAVED Arts and the City of Saskatoon as part of Culture Days and Nuit Blanche.
Earlier this month a community jury selected these works to be featured as part of this years program:

Susan Shantz “Becoming Water” – 14′ 52”
Chaes Wesolowski & Jessica Brady “CJ” – 02′ 39

Travis Cole & Brianna Whitmore “No Postcards” – 03′ 32″
Following this screening Colby Richardson’s (Winnipeg, MB) interactive video installation will draw on connections between ancient megalithic architecture, and modern infrastructure, transforming the underside of the Idylwyld bridge into an enigmatic gateway in which the viewer becomes the bridge itself.
Colby Richardson is a video artist and experimental filmmaker utilizing video-sculpture, installation and commercially obsolete video and broadcast equipment to explore themes of transformation, transcendence, and abrasive-meditation.
