Egoyan’s short films have served as the breeding ground for his formal and narrative experiments. Themes that recur in his feature works—pornography and the dehumanizing uses of media (Peep Show), restless families (Open House), and ethnic identity (A Portrait of Arshile)—are explored here, along with technical innovations in color, camera work, and visual design. Egoyan will be present to discuss the arc of his filmmaking career, as seen through these small, but evocative cinematic gestures.
