The brainchild of Montreal-based director, curator and artist Ariana Molly, C.R.E.A.M. is an anagram for Cinematic Rave Experiments and Musings, a hybrid event of film, music, art, dance and performance.
"To quote me," laughs Molly, "I like to say it exists at the precipice of salacious fantasy. All of the art space is tinted with something sexy, something a little naughty."
No stranger to extravagant, decadent events, Molly previously hosted the Cinema Erotica series with friend and collaborator Veronika Yemelyanova. The previous series showcased erotica cinema with a multidisciplinary twist. Also hosted at Cinéma L'Amour, Cinema Erotica shed light on one of the city's most neglected art spaces.
"For me, Cinéma L'Amour is my absolute fantasy space."
