Every Wednesday evening during the festival we’ll be presenting emerging artists’ film, video and performance. Each EAF Film Club evening is curated by an artist-run organisation from outside of Edinburgh whom we’ve invited to select work around the theme of Interval As Integration.
This week’s EAF Film Club evening is curated by CIRCA Projects, Newcastle.
CIRCA Projects is a Newcastle based non-profit organisation with a curatorial position. CIRCA Projects’ work is mainly based in the presentation and production of new art works and projects. Run by three curators, it uses various sites and partnerships to realise its exhibition programme, in doing so it can address different audiences. Outputs take the form of exhibitions, events, commissioned artworks and publications.
Circa's film and video screening, titled Diamond Dust, looks at the augmented realities of the internet, computer games, image modelling. Including works by Steina and Woody Vasulka, Jerome LOL, John Rafman, Adham Faramawy, Zoe Williams, Craig Mulholland, Olivia Dunbar, Richard Whitby, Jaakko Pallasvuo.
EAF Film Club is supported by New Media Scotland and The National Lottery through Creative Scotland.
