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.
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.
Oakville Galleries operates with support from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Ontario Arts Council, an agency of the Government of Ontario and the Corporation of the Town of Oakville, along with our many individual, corporate, and foundation partners.
Each Sunset Kino evening, artist Faisal Anwar presents tailored projections ahead of the curated program.

Performance Concept
Visuals stretch and collapse.
Sounds swell, distort, then vanish.
This is not a story.
It’s a state.
A rhythm just outside of recognition.
A visual [sound] like language that speaks in fragments,
silence, and sudden bursts of colour.
Come if you’re curious, stay if you’re drawn
to the things we almost remember.
