AD HOC #86 - Arthur Lipsett - N-Zone

🌌 Join us for AD HOC #86: Arthur Lipsett - N-Zone
🗓️ Date: February 10, 2026
🕗 Time: 20:00
🏛️ Location: Innis College, Room 222

Dive deep into the realm of philosophical speculation with the screening of N-Zone, Arthur Lipsett’s longest and most provocative film, originally released in 1970. The concept of the 'n-zone' transcends mere definitions—it invites viewers to explore the intersection of nirvana, nihilism, and the nadir of human experience.

Witness how Lipsett, known for critiquing consumer society, uses experimental storytelling to reveal hidden meanings and challenge the perceptions of time, space, and reality. This unique presentation is made possible by a generous print donation from Canadian filmmaker Rick Hancox, and will be accompanied by opening remarks from Dr. Stephen Broomer, author of Secret Museums: The Films of Arthur Lipsett (2025).

📽️ Program:

• N-Zone (1970, 45 mins, 16mm, B&W, optical sound)
