2026 Sunset Kino

Sunset Kino is Canada's only outdoor, avant-garde film festival, founded by Séamus Kealy in Austria in 2017 and now held at Oakville Galleries. The 2026 festival launches with films by artist Ali Cherri, presented in dialogue with his solo exhibition To Fall, Patiently at Oakville Galleries.

The curated program explores the theme In Ruins, featuring acclaimed short films by Canadian and international artists, including the award-winning The Watchman. Screenings are introduced by the programmers and commence at sunset.

All films are screened outdoors in Gairloch Gardens, 1306 Lakeshore Rd E, Oakville. Attendees should dress appropriately and bring seating and blankets.

In the event of inclement weather, screenings will move indoors to the Studio, adjacent to the Gallery.
