Accompanying Platform: 2015, this year’s Film Club offers an opportunity to showcase artist films from across Scotland. Join us for an evening of screenings curated by artist- led gallery, Embassy in Edinburgh.
'Our film programme for EAF's Film Club will explore the difficulties of attaining bodily and existential gratification within minds pervaded by digital culture, focusing on remedies to this concern through works that use haptic imagery, interaction, and language, in attempts too mediate intimacy and proximity across digital platforms.'
