Alternative Night of Experimental Film

Following two years of screening seasons attended by wonderful creators, the Alternative Night of Experimental Film is back - once again inviting submissions of short experimental films and moving image works that will compose the programme for an informal screening and networking opportunity. This time the event will take place in Close Up cinema in London.

We are particularly interested in works by emerging filmmakers and artists based in London; the aim of the event is to create a platform for conversation and networking for those who are exploring the alternative creative paths through experimental cinema.

While our theme is always broad, we are again interested in the cinematic and artistic interpretations of the word:
EXPERIENCE.

In open and imaginative ways we ask for films to be engaged with its meaning, some examples of which are below:

1. direct observation of or participation in events as a basis of knowledge
2. something personally encountered, undergone, or lived through
3. the conscious events that make up an individual life
4. the events that make up the conscious past of a community or nation or humankind generally
5. the act or process of directly perceiving events or reality

We are looking to present a programme comprising of diverse voices and original visions.

We are aware of the limitations of access and challenges of both the film industry and the art world, and our mission is to support the emerging talent in the field of moving image as a multidisciplinary endeavour, creating a community that provides space for growth and mutual encouragement.

Our event will include a screening and an informal networking opportunity for filmmakers and artists working with moving image. Everyone is welcome to attend and tickets will be soon advertised.
