A programme comprised of 12 experimental pieces that concern themselves with the material and historical processes of filmmaking. Through a variety of formal techniques, including hand-processing, manipulation, toning, direct animation, optical printing and re-contextualizing found footage. The films reference and reinvent the inherent photochemical and mechanical nature of the medium.
PureScreen is Castlefield Gallery’s regular screening event for artist’s film and video. The programme provides a platform for outstanding recent work and aims to support new and emerging practitioners and curators.
