Vancouver, BC - Rio Theatre is pleased to present HERO a film by Vancouver artist Jeremy Isao Speier.
In HERO “The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” is told in the conceptually imagined 1st draft of ‘Stephen Hero”. It is a film about the improper arts -desire and loathing, -stasis and kinesis, -truth and beauty. I am adapting The Artist, creating my own leitmotif: a premise about Joyce’s imagined character of artist/self, his free mind and evolving artistic soul. HERO is a poignant filmic work that explores the archetypal artist through the collective unconscious and universality.
Jeremy Isao Speier is a Japanese-Canadian interdisciplinary artist who graduated from Emily Carr College of Art & Design. He works in film/video, kinetic sculpture and sound, and installation. His work has been exhibited in Canada in numerous solo and group exhibitions. He is a three-time award recipient of the Filmmakers Assistance Program from the National Film Board of Canada.
