Experimenta
Films by artists that revolutionise and reshape our vision of cinema.

The Afterlight
A mesmerising collage of moments drawn from the first half of film history, performed by actors who are now deceased, and a poignant reminder of the ephemeral power of cinema.

Anachronic Chronicles: Voyages Inside/Out Asia
An inventive rewriting of the filmmakers’ home videos leaves us with the urge to open up boxes of old video cassettes.

Eye Cut / What We Shared
By recreating personal stories though testimony, poetry and archival material, the artist and performers explore deep traumas that no single place or language can contain.

Lago Gatún
Kevin Jerome Everson’s latest feature-length film, shot in black-and-white 16mm, is a minimalist odyssey that traverses the waterway between the Earth’s two great oceans.

Landscapes of Resistance
The intimately told, extraordinary story of anti-fascist fighter and Auschwitz resistance survivor Sonja Vujanović, drawn from interviews filmed over ten years.

Memorials of Meaning
Films that dissect the hypocrisies of received communications are contrasted with films that celebrate ancient wisdom.

Thinking with Other Senses
Three films that imagine multisensory ways to relate to natural phenomena.

What Are You Looking At?
Defiantly non-conformist, this selection of shorts offers multi-perspective musings on existence, from the humorous to the sublime.
