Your Kontinent is a variation of the name Urkontinent—one single large continent—which was a word coined by German scientist and Geophysicist, Alfred Wegener. This continent, if it existed today, would contain a multitude of ethnicities and thus be considered a mosaic. Like the City of Richmond, this continent represents individual and collective perceptions of many cultures co-existing in one place. The deliberate choice to use ‘your’ instead of ‘ur’ is to represent one’s individual perception of their continent or culture.
The mission of the Festival is to exhibit a spectrum of films and multi-media art works, to give voice to our community through creativity, and to broaden our viewers’ film experiences both locally and internationally. Our ultimate goal is to provide a new platform to expose our audience to new ways of thinking and nourish interaction among filmmakers and media artists in Canada and around the World.
The Festival is co-presented by Cinevolution Media Arts Society and the City of Richmond.
