Live music will be provided by {sabine}

{sabine} is a London Ontario producer who blends acoustic instrumentation with programming and soundscapes to convey a diverse array of feelings in their music. They are currently working with a condition called Paget-Schroetter syndrome which prohibits the repetitive motion of playing instruments, and have pivoted to re-purposing and experimenting with their own recordings and creating longer soundscapes as a healing process. Music is moving, like water or conversation, and they are excited to share possibilities in sound, texture, and emotion in a free flowing way with composition and jamming.

Presented by Forest City Film Festival, in partnership with Sorelle Sound and the London Music Office.
