We are thrilled to share that one of The Camera Store's very own, Annabeth Trondsen, will be one of the panel speakers at the BUMP Urban Art Conference, as part of the 2026 BUMP Festival! Cities are shaped by more than infrastructure and policy; they're shaped by story, through film, branding, architecture, tourism campaigns, public art, media, and popular culture. Through narratives about who belongs, what matters, and what futures feel possible. On August 14th, join the panel discussion, Who Makes the City? Mythmaking & Film at Contemporary Calgary as panel members examine how myth, media, and creative industries influence public perception and civic imagination.

As Calgary rapidly transforms, competing visions of the city are beginning to emerge. Is Calgary a corporate city? A creative city? An oil capital? A cultural frontier? A prairie metropolis? And who gets to define its identity moving forward? Who Makes the City? Mythmaking & Film brings together filmmakers and agents of culture, including TCS's Annabeth Trondsen, alongside Gillian Mckercher, Andrew David Long, Adam Keresztes, and Celina Vides as they examine these questions and themes through their unique creative lens.Β
This panel is presented by Calgary Economic Development & The Calgary International Film Festival.
