MSOA SCREENINGS
Over the course of the final year at Manchester School of Art, I was involved in co-running MSOA Screenings. This took the form of weekly screenings of curated video art, moving image and experimental cinema paired with group discussions. Our aim was to foster a greater moving image community within the art school as well as encourage insightful dialogue about contemporary video art and its themes. Through this I gained essential experience in hosting, event planning, social media management and deepened my understanding of moving image which in turn fed into my personal practice.
MSOA SCREENINGS FILM FESTIVAL 2024
In culmination of our collective work throughout the year, MSOA Screenings Film Festival 2024 was debuted. This came from our desire to showcase student work alongside emerging and established artists in effort to build stronger relationships and opportunities for young artists and celebrate the diversity of moving image and art film. 21 artists took part in the 3 day festival which took place across Cafe Blah and the School of the Digital Arts. Panel discussions with the artists provided insight into the processes and decision making behind the work as well as allowing conversation between fine artists and filmmakers.
