EVENT OVERVIEW

ORIGINAL SHORT FILMS FROM THE AUTISM COMMUNITY

Spectrum Productions is proud to present its 16th Annual Gala and Screening!

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the creative voices of autistic youth across Montreal! This year we will feature a curated selection of original short films from each of our programs, showcasing the talents of over 65 young autistic creators from our summer camps and year-round initiatives.

Enjoy the Montreal premiere of Backjump following its world premiere at TIFF lightbox this past spring, and catch a special pre-screening of Artist Block, created over the 2024-2025 year in Creative Media Lab. We will also share original work from our Sunday Production Clubs and a fun animation montage produced in our Saturday Animation programs.

Come early and come hungry! Our favorite chef, Peter Papaioannou, will be serving up a delicious nacho bar, and our merchandising table will have new products featuring some of our most popular characters. Doors open at 5:30pm for drinks, and a chance to browse our silent auction before the curtains go up and the show begins!

Don’t miss this inspiring celebration of creativity and community as we come together to support the future of autistic talent in film!
