Meanings drift and flow, cultures adapt and grow, islands come and go: seven shorts explore the familiar and the unfamiliar, measuring and capturing the distances between the knowable and the unobtainable, between connection and loss, in reference to India's caste system, disappearing ice sheets, Scottish coastlines, the Black Atlantic, the Gobi Desert, the Suriname-French Guyana border, and the film strip.
This programme of new Scottish and International works curated for us by our friends at Alchemy Film & Arts speaks to some of the themes explored across this year's festival.
Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival is Scotland’s festival of experimental film and the flagship event of Alchemy Film & Arts. It has been described as ‘a film festival unlike any other in Scotland, with a distinctive focus on unusual, experimental filmmaking that blurs the boundary between cinema and visual arts.’
The thirteenth edition takes place 27 – 30 April 2023 in Hawick, Scottish Borders – a two-hour drive from Glasgow.
All films captioned for d/Deaf viewers.
