Ora Obscura

Matt Jaekel, Jess Nguyen, & Taylor Elliott | Canada | 2025 | 60m

Miles away from the bright lights & soaring skylines of Toronto, in the darkest recesses of Niagara’s underground, something strange & spectacular is afoot. Descend into Niagara’s Alternative Scene, or Niagara’s Freak Scene, home to a new wave of outsider artists straddling the line between inspiration & insanity, earnestness & irreverence.

ORA OBSCURA offers a inside look at this burgeoning sub-culture, featuring live performances & candid interviews with members of the experimental label ROUTINE EXPLOITS.
