For five years, Video Party has been showcasing original independent short films and videos in a party setting. Our goal is to provide an exciting and engaging environment for audience members to view films, interact with media makers and get a little wild.

One Night
For one night in early November, these three organizations will join forces to showcase their wares. There will be short film screenings, DJ’s + live music and copious brewed beverages. The venue is also a pretty happening spot. Have you been in that really big loft at the bottom of Guy / Williams occasionally referred to as “The Pound”? Well, if not, all the more reason to come and check it out.
Oh, and the best part is, since our co-hosts have a mandate to generate public awareness and a budget, this event is going to be PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN / FREE!
