This program focuses on experimental films featuring images of bombs, or films in which audio-visual archives have been tweaked to produce singular and troubling rythms. They constitute an esthetic commentary on catastrophe as shaped by contemporary hypermedia and its high-tech culture of war, as witnessed by the history of cinema. The one-evening screenings will cover four decades of work from well-known and emerging filmmakers from the United States, Canada and Armenia.

Founded in March 1995, Antitube presents cinema and video events in Québec City. In April 1996, it held its first public activity. In 2010, it is presenting its 161st event.
Antitube is devoted to the presentation of the culture, history and future of moving images. It favours the other image, the image from another place or another moment, which arrives without fanfare, which is unusual and surprising. The art of moving images (cinema, video or electronic), this great demonstrator of the relativity of human actions and beliefs, this powerful political and cultural catalyser has been one of the most important cultural contributions of the 20th century. Antitube offers the Québec City public various activities that integrate the memory and future of moving images.
