Film Screening
June 18
Heather Edwards Theatre | 4-7 PM
A screening of two animated short films, ‘A STORM WITHIN’ by Gagandeep Chahal and ‘THE GAME OF LIFE’ by Christian Woods.
The animations explore the nature of thoughts – the impact on the mind and how they shape our internal state. They invite visitors to reflect on how thoughts influence our everyday experience and consider what it would feel like to experience the mind without the constant noise.
Both films are commissioned by without SHAPE without FORM as part of the exhibition, JOURNEY OF THE MIND.
FREE and OPEN TO ALL. No registration required. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
JOURNEY OF THE MIND is presented in partnership with Contemporary Calgary.
ABOUT without SHAPE without FORM
without SHAPE without FORM is an assembly of artists, thinkers and cultural practitioners committed to making moments of self-discovery accessible for everyone. Rooted in Sikh philosophical concepts, their contemporary artistic programme enables people to have meaningful conversations about the mind.
Guided by insights and tools from over 500 years of Sikh knowledge, without SHAPE without FORM explores a transformative philosophy that pursues self-mastery in the service of others, connecting courage, compassion and community with a commitment to education, collaboration and exchange.
without SHAPE without FORM create spaces to explore the power of the mind – through curating exhibitions, producing podcasts, publishing articles, delivering workshops and hosting gatherings for Simran (a practice of stillness and deep listening). These encounters help people find peace, resilience and purpose in an increasingly noisy and fractured world.
Social action and openness are central to everything we do. Their approach is boundaryless, experiential and participatory – inviting global voices to a cross-cultural dialogue about purposeful living.
