[Frameworks] Art gallery venues that host experimental film series screenings

[Derek Jenkins]

Hi Joel,

In Hamilton ON, Jewel Foster founded a regular series of experimental film
screenings at Hamilton Artists Inc. <http://www.theinc.ca> in 1981. The
series ran for several years. As executive director, I’ve recently been
going through our archive of programs and posters from the series. Let me
know at executive at theinc.ca if you are looking for any further information
or archival materials.

Best,

Derek Jenkins
