Cosmic Rays celebrates work that extends the artistic possibilities of cinema and new media technologies; that explores the lyrical and poetic dimensions of media; that speaks with a personal voice; that challenges audience expectations of cinema form and content; that arises from a diversity of life experiences, identities, and communities; and that questions conventional models of production, exhibition, and distribution.<\/p><p>The program features films which are a visual examination of the roles of our bodies, the information that they generate, the identities that are adopted, and the records they leave behind. They are films that ask if we\u2019re evolving into something new, or just heading for extinction.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/uniondocs.org\/event\/2025-09-28-cosmic-rays-you-dont-know-me\/\">More Details Here<\/a><br><br><br><br><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-row-container\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-equal-height vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-e4d3bfb9\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-e4d3bfb9\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-a3da545f\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-a3da545f\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-a3da545f\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-row-container\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-equal-height vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-52726104\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-52726104\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-b212c414\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-b212c414\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-b212c414\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File No. 2304 &amp; Artist Talk at Powell Street Festival&nbsp;August 3, 20251:30 pm to 2:30 pmFirehall Arts Centre&nbsp;A screening of File No. 2304, a short film by Alison Kobayashi, followed by an in-depth presentation on her multidisciplinary project Electric Neon Clock.
