Wander into the wilderness for the first of our relaxed evenings of short film and video, and explore spaces and stories at the edges of nature.

About

Grab a drink, find a spot on one of our sofas and settle in for a selection of contemporary moving image and short film accompanied by experimental work from film history. The screening will take place in our Studio, with the backdrop of our temporary indoor Forest to set the scene. There'll also be a chance to view our current exhibition On Overgrown Paths by filmmaker Ben Rivers, where three ramshackle wooden cabins, assembled by the artist from discarded wood and salvaged building materials, invite the visitor to explore. Inside, flickering 16mm films reveal the lives of modern-day hermits who live in isolated spots in Northern Europe. Doors 6.00pm, films start from 6.30pm £3.00 Programme Aspect Emily Richardson / UK / 2004 / 9min Colour, light and shadow shift across the surface of the forest as the period of a year is condensed into minutes.
