Dull Spots of Greenish Colours is an immersive animated film brought to us by Sasha Svirsky.
War for our attention has suddenly become an actual war. Information technologies appear not just as mere means for somebody’s ends but as something having their agency, as one of the acting forces rendering possible a horrific event, which is very hard to accept and almost impossible to comprehend. We have no control over it and are doomed to scroll through the newsfeed.
Don't miss out on the screening of this amazing film tomorrow during our screening!

What is free sound improvisation, and why do people practice it? "Our Infinite Sonic Space for Being Otherwise" explores improvisation as a way of being: together, free, and open to possibility. Voices of the Blank Canvas Octet reflect on their practice while several seemingly unrelated objects, such as a banana, a stone, a lollipop, or a cube, move and oscillate in a black void, responding to the sounds from a live session. Through sound and motion, the film invites us into a space where existence itself becomes fluid, playful, and interconnected.
Thank you Irene Izquierdo for sharing this film with us and our audience during our next screening on Wednesday!

I recently saw someone that looked like you. I realized quickly that he was not you, but he moved like you. Ran his hands through his hair like you. And had the same backpack in the same shabby state. So I decided to follow your not-you for a while.

Intrigued? This is the story of "Not You" by Lara Torp, Emilia Zieser, a beautifully animated film that we have the pleasure to share with you during our next screening on Wednesday.
