Genuine Fake Premium Economy:
Jenna Bliss, Buck Ellison & Jasmine Gregory

Through satirising, staging or appropriating the real, these artists probe what effect this post-2008 era of financial collapse has had on societal myths of fairness and progress under capitalism.

Films

Nothing But Life:
The Cinema of Rita Azevedo Gomes

Danses Macabres, Skeletons and other Fantasies

Rita Azevedo Gomes and Pierre Léon’s roaming inquiry into the danse macabre as a turning point in European thought, that draws on Jean Louis Schefer’s writings to trace a quiet shift from medieval worldviews to modernity, moving between Paris and Portugal.

Live

Car Culture + Organ Tapes + ddwy

Daniel Fisher's Car Culture project brings focus to his sentimental side. He collages fuzzy folktronica, found sounds and unexpected edits into foot-gazing narratives. With support from Organ Tapes and ddwy.

Films

UK PREMIERE
Tycoon + Q&A

Charlotte Zhang's mesmerising debut feature effortlessly merges forms and formats to craft a paranoid spiral into a city on the brink, as Los Angeles is encircled by militarized policing, meat shortages and cockroach infestations on the eve of the 2028 Olympics.
