Given the surroundings of picturesque Nova Scotia, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Halifax is a burgeoning visual-arts hub. Tonight, animator Siloën Daley assembles a showcase of the area's talent, stuffing an hour-long presentation with her impressive animation, as well as six women-directed shorts that inspired her work. After the pieces play out their lighthearted scenarios (an NYC tea party) and visual oddities (floating ice cream, crippled supermen, a house and its occupants dyed pink), LA band Foot Foot wrap up the night with graceful, bass-heavy harmonies.
