CONTOURS

CONTOURS is a monthly screening series at Paradise Theatre spotlighting films which thematize the world of visual art:painting, sculpture, sketching, and performance. Each feature is preceded by a short film and an introduction by curator and host Saffron Maeve. Maeve also writes an accompanying column for Screen Slate, which covers art films playing in New York.

Saffron Maeve is a Toronto-based critic and cultural worker. Her writing has appeared in Film Comment, The Globe & Mail, MUBI Notebook, Cinema Scope, Reverse Shot, and Hyperallergic. She is a past guest speaker for TIFF, International Film Festival of Ottawa, Dave Barber Cinematheque, and Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies, and has programmed films for Paradise and TIFF Wavelengths.
