MicroActs presents In A Curious Place • Short Film Screening

We're delighted to announce our December edition of MicroActs, 'In A Curious Place', will take place at the legendary VFDalston, a hub of arts & queer culture in East London. Join us for inspiring & exciting evening of experimental Artist Films from an international & UK based lineup of artist filmmakers!

MicroActs is a program of short films, 6 minutes or less, exploring concentrated storytelling through moving image. From bold political expression to delicate personal memories to abstract experimental collages; MicroActs aims to create a thought-provoking, informative and multifaceted evening of film. Expect a diverse range of short films (narrative or non-linear, experimental or scripted, abstract emotions, comedy sketches, music videos, and more), MicroActs showcases works that share unique perspectives, intersectional experiences and tell stories.

Please note, our screenings are recommended 18+. Please be advised that some of the films in this edition feature flashing imagery, thank you.
