2026 Sunset Kino
Location: Oakville Galleries at Gairloch Gardens, 1306 Lakeshore Rd E, Oakville
Sunset Kino is Canada's only outdoor, avant-garde film festival. Founded by Séamus Kealy in Austria in 2017, this festival continues now at Oakville Galleries. Introduced by the programmers and commencing at sunset, audiences experience a curated program of films and videos by Canadian and international artists.
This year's festival launches with films by artist Ali Cherri and is presented in dialogue with his solo exhibition To Fall, Patiently at Oakville Galleries. Exploring the theme, In Ruins, this selection of acclaimed short films, which includes the award-winning The Watchman will offer rare opportunities to reflect on the artist’s profound understanding of the relationship between humans and land, and his penetrating ability to represent history.
All films are screened outdoors in Gairloch Gardens. Please dress appropriately and bring seating and blankets. With inclement weather, screenings will be indoors in the Studio, adjacent to the Gallery.
