A monthly evening of contemporary short-form moving images and cinematic collaborations.

DIM is curated by Amy Lynn Kazymerchyk, a filmmaker, writer, and independent curator. She is invested in nurturing celebration, community, and dialogue around filmmaking, media art and their sister disciplines.
