Doors & wine bar open 7pm, Event starts 7.30pm. £5 / £3 conc.
WONDERING OUT OF TIME is a screening programme of moving image works made by artists, that take us from history to prediction.
Often pushing the boundaries of traditional filmmaking the artists utilise essay, documentary and fiction to explore how human activity, technology, and constructs in todays reality impress on the world tomorrow.
Engaging with science and history, some works consider how evolution and archaeology inform our vision of the future, as well as the past. Others explore how perceived realities and impressions of the future are mediated by culture and technology of the present. To book tickets click here
