EVENT OVERVIEW
9 SHORT FILMS FROM THE AUTISM COMMUNITY
Spectrum Productions is proud to present its 16th Annual Gala and Screening!
Featuring 9 short films produced by 50 young autistic creators from our 2025 summer camps, it is an evening to celebrate and share the creative talent of autistic youth, and come together as a community to support their future efforts in film and media creation.
The evening will include a Montreal premiere of Backjump following its world premiere at TIFF lightbox this spring, and a prescreening of Artist Block created over the 2024-25 year in Creative Media Lab.
Come hungry and enjoy our nacho bar served by our favorite chef, Peter Papaioannou, as well as new limited-edition products at our merchandising table. Join us at 5:30pm to enjoy a drink and browse our silent auction before the curtains go up and the show begins!
