Over
This autumn film programme kicks off with a series of Internet Cinema shorts, selected by Open Secret, a touring platform and screening series that explores the porous boundaries between digital culture, artistic collaboration, and experimental film.
As we reconnect during the opening weekend, our underground cinema transforms into a visual time capsule of the internet (pre)history we currently inhabit. Join us on a visual excavation and an ongoing inquiry into how moving images move through us, both online and off.
about
Open Secret is a touring internet cinema and screening series curated by Dana Dawud, rooted in a fluid network of artists with strong online practices, who are looking for (or revealing? or creating?) meaning in the omnipresent and endless stream of images that permeates our lives today. From intimate home videos over advertisements and curated selfies to direct war footage, these are images that are shared with everyone, online, but the proposition of Open Secret is to actually watch them together, physically, on the big screen.

Ultra Core Anxiety, 0nty, fragment
''To say you feel as if a lion is trying to break in your front door, might sound like an idyllic metaphor for your anxiety, but when the metaphor is made out of real footage, the absurdity appears to collapse into a kind of deranged realism.''
