Perception is a journey through textures. The films in this programme present the range of perceptual possibilities that can be created through techniques of duplication and layering, and explorations of surfaces and textures. They demonstrate different approaches to surface and depth, from direct interventions on the celluloid strip to digital manipulations of figurative or abstract phenomena.

Black Box Shorts 3: Passing Through
Date Location
Evocative journeys through mountain pathways and city streets. Six films from Canada, Austria, the Netherlands, and the USA that offer very different perspectives on bodily trajectories through new and uncertain territories.

Black Box Shorts 4: Particles
Date Location
Where nature and science collide. Three films that explore, with almost obsessive precision, the minutiae of phenomena in flux, including Paul Clipson’s series of intimate Super-8 studies of plant and animal life, Rose Lowder’s ethereal observations of the crystallization of sea water, and Telcosystems’ take on particle theory through the unstable fluctuation of digital data. Moving from the poetic to the hypnotic, from the figurative to the abstract, and from calm to chaos, this programme…

International Animation
Date Location
This screening allows you to catch up with a selection of the best animation from around the globe, and sees a welcome return to Edinburgh of the work of Don Hertzfeldt, who was our guest in 2009. Animation derives its name from the Latin ‘anima’ – which describes the soul. The creation of that life essence through the illusion of animation is even more fascinating when the loss of that animating principle is explored, as happens in many of the films presented here.

Rosalinda + Everybody Says Long Live Bobby Holly
Date Location
These two short films highlight the richness of recent South American cinema. From one of Argentina’s most important new directors, Rosalinda is not only an original meditation on Shakespeare’s As You Like It, but a rich and enjoyable work that sustains a brisk comic tempo within a mellow, sunlit atmosphere. Everybody Says Long Live Bobby Holly is an ingenious and farcical fake rockumentary chronicling the achievements of an unknown giant of Uruguayan music.

Short Films 1: Identity and Revolution
Date Location
A compelling testament to documentary film’s ability to explore the complex, interrelated dialogue that exists between the present and past. The core focus of this programme investigates how the individual orients and defines itself in reaction to collective, shared history and the fragments of the past half remembered, invented or fabricated by themselves and others. How does this refracted burden define how we conceive ourselves in the present? Fragments of family Super 8 films, found…
