For the 30th Anniversary, the Images Festival is launching a new online initiative to highlight Canadian and International works. The project is being inaugurated by shining a light on one of the most unique Canadian experimental documentaries of the past decades made by Judith Doyle.

Eye of the Mask: Theatre Nicaragua offers a unique roving window into the life of post-revolutionary Nicaragua, orchestrated by a group of young and energized revolutionaries, poets, and artists who fervently believed in art and theatre’s power to bring about social transformation.Shot while the country was under lockdown as a consequence of Reagan’s invasion of Grenada in 1983, Eye of the Mask follows Nixtayolero (Dawn Star) theatre group as they travel to perform in remote and rural area
