SPIRIT OF MEKAS: Experimental Short Films

CinemaAttic will be screening a selection of contemporary experimental films from Ibero-America, each a bold exploration of doubt, identity, and transformation.

We hope everybody had as much fun as we did, and we look forward to seeing you all again for our 'Spirit of Mekas' November events, where we will be celebrating experimental and analogue film. 📽️

That's it for October! We spent the month exploring and celebrating Colombia in all its dualities, with a great selection of short films and panel discussions. We also partnered with @IW_Archives and @tapecollective to shine a spotlight on luchadora films and their female stars.

Join us at Morningside Library (5th Nov, 2pm) for Charlie Chaplin's THE GOLD RUSH, about a gold prospector in Alaska struggling to survive the elements and win the heart of a dance hall girl. Witness the wonder of early cinema and laugh along with Chaplin’s timeless comedy.
