Artists' Film Biennial: Open Call "Outside"

For the first time, the Artists’ Film Biennial features a screening selected from an international open call for emerging filmmakers. Over 300 films were submitted, and eight of these feature in this screening, titled Outside, echoing the loose theme of the call. The selected artist filmmakers in Outside are Graeme Arnfield, Amir Ghazi-Noory, Jenny Gordon, Samantha Harvey, Patrick Rowan, Lawrence Lek, Laura O'Neill and Benjamin Orlow.

Although the main programmes of the Biennial take place in the ICA cinema, Outside looks toward the frontiers beyond the black cube. Quite literally capturing the outside in some cases, the films in the programme also point at more abstract interpretations of the theme; psychological space, outer space and the anxieties of the contemporary condition.
