7-8pm

A programme of artists’ films that explore, in a variety of ways, our relationship with the world we live in. Including multi-award winning animations, and two longer films by artists at the forefront of experimental documentary.

Salvage is a scavenger film, reclaiming and re-presents the by-products of commercial animation production. Rabbit is a perversely moral tale; greed and exploitation do not go unpunished, but in Who I Am and What I Want, Pete is more than at home with his friends in the forest. Proximity and Magnetic Movie make us re-think about how we see the world. In Uranium Hex and Desert Rose, ecological and political messages are forcefully integrated with experimental approaches to form.
