Artists’ Film Labs
Artists’ Film Labs are regular meet-ups and workshops exploring what film could be. Drawing from the experimental spirit of artist film and hosted by multi-disciplinary creatives, the Labs are an opportunity to test new ideas and approaches to filmmaking.
Labs are an invitation to share skills and ideas outside the boundaries of established filmmaking. Whether you are a practicing artist, a filmmaker, or someone looking to explore a new interest, the Artists’ Film Labs are open to all.
Across the spectrum of film, join an exploration of the medium through writing, DIY animation, community work and more.
Many artists – from writers, to musicians and filmmakers – find inspiration in archives. This discussion, marking the launch of Cinenova’s new website, is an opportunity to hear about using archives as a creative tool. We’ll then share some food together before our evening film screening, Rhythm Disrupts the Archive, which includes two Cinenova films. Food will be provided by Dewa’s Sri Lankan Delights at 5pm.
This film screening, programmed by BFMAF with filmmaker and writer Val Phoenix, explores feminist DIY punk in the late 20th century. The films in this programme share experiences and visions of women who created alternative spaces, scenes, zines and took to the stage to challenge conventions of beauty and gender within the punk scene, as well as issuing a challenge to the wider world. Food will be provided by Dewa’s Sri Lankan Delights at 5pm.
