“A Day in the Life” with Vancouver filmmaker Joseph Klymkiw

Joseph Klymkiw is a video artist, director, cinematographer, activist, and socialite. Joe’s work primarily chronicles art, music and performance movements of Vancouver and its surrounding communities. As a result of this work, he is well known and liked among many progressive, liberal-minded and artistic communities and people outside of these circles as well.

Joseph Klymkiw is a storyteller to his core, he immerses himself in the narratives that he takes on. He is always on the move and yet wherever he goes he seems to know everyone. Joseph is remarkably open, and it’s because of this openness that he has such rich and varied experiences.
