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.
