Nuit Blanche 2025

CFMDC will be part of NUIT BLANCHE at 401 Richmond on Saturday, October 4, 7PM–7AM. 12 hours of exhibitions, installations & performances across two floors! Stop by CineCycle (down the alley behind 401) to see what’s screening!

Martin Heath reels out 16mm Scopitones, fun short musical films from the 1960s!

The music video’s forerunners were the short musical films screened on the Cinebox and the Scopitone.

Both Scopitone and Cinebox were a form of visual jukebox, equipped with a screen showing 16mm films with magnetic soundtracks (COMMAG, or Combined Sound and Picture-Magnetic Sound Record). The terms Cinebox or Scopitone refer both to the films and to the devices, emphasizing the influence of these machines on the aesthetics they shaped.
