Objects from Home: A Tiny Hours Screening & Fundraiser
Join us for an evening that blends film, memory, and creative expression. We’ll play a screening of REW-FFWD, a 30-minute documentary based in exploring home, culture, and the quiet stories held in everyday objects.
Around the space are still-life setups featuring familiar items found in Jamaican households. Objects that hold warmth, history, and lived experience. Bring a sketchbook or use the materials provided, and spend time drawing, connecting, and reflecting.
Proceeds from ticket sales support communities in Jamaica affected by hurricane Melissa.
About the film
REW-FFWD (1994), directed by Denis Villeneuve, follows a photographer whose car breaks down in a Kingston neighbourhood, forcing him to spend several days in an unfamiliar environment. Told through a fragmented, VCR-like “memory puzzle” style, the film traces his shift from shock and preconceived bias to a deeper, more attentive way of seeing. As he listens, observes, and allows himself to be present, he realizes that the images he once planned to bring home (pretty and surface-level) could never speak honestly about Jamaica.
