WIFF is transforming Charles Clark Square into an outdoor cinema! With a state-of-the-art LED screen, and sound that will fill the square, we are excited to bring you a slate of great movies to watch with us Under the Stars. Did we mention it is free if you register your group!?
Bring your own chairs, blankets, sun hats and make sure you dress appropriately for being outdoors. Sunscreen and bug spray is recommended!
You must register for each day you plan on attending screenings. Entrance into each screening will be first-come, first-serve. Groups will be limited to 6 people. You must wear a face mask if you are sitting with people outside of your household.

The Price of Desire:
The Price Of Desire is the controversial story of how Eileen Gray’s influential contribution to 20th century architecture and design was almost entirely wiped from history by the egotistical ‘Father of Modernism’ Le Corbusier, and of how her relationship with philanderer Jean Badovici (Le Corbusier’s promoter by way of his influential architectural publication L’Architecture Vivante) further fuelled the rift between the two architects, both personally and professionally, consigning her legacy to a century of neglect and long-overdue recognition.
Set substantially on the Côte d’Azur in and around her most abiding work, the villa e1027, The Price of Desire explores the events and details surrounding Le Corbusier’s eventual erasure of Gray’s very ownership of the house, and re-attribution of its design by omission to the chauvinistic men in her life, essentially stripping Gray of the right to be recognized as the author of her own work.
This triangular tale of insidious chauvinism experienced by the remarkable bisexual Irish artist, architect and designer, resonates as a universal female experience while cinematically evoking the essential aesthetic of Eileen Gray.

Motherload:
An award-winning documentary that uses the cargo bike as the vehicle for exploring parenthood in this digital age of climate change. Motherload is a crowdsourced documentary about a new mom's quest to understand and promote the cargo bike movement in a gas-powered, digital and divided world. As Liz explores the burgeoning global movement to replace cars with purpose-built bikes, she learns about the bicycle's history and potential future as the ultimate "social revolutionizer." Her experiences as a cyclist, as a mother, and in discovering the cargo bike world, teach Liz that sustainability is not necessarily about compromise and sacrifice and there are few things more empowering, in an age of consumption, than the ability to create everything from what seems to be nothing. MOTHERLOAD features unconventional production methods (including crowdsourcing from non-filmmakers), genre-bending storytelling (experimental/personal/doc), and themes of movement-building, activism and courage to "go against the grain.”
