Sheffield Docfest: Alternate Realities

21 Jan: 12 - 4pm, 22 - 23 Jan: 11am - 4pm

In collaboration with Sheffield DocFest, we are pleased to present a salon screening programme, which includes moving image works from UK and international artists and filmmakers Geraldine Snell, Heesoo Kwon, Duncan Marquiss, Lina Laraki and Séamus Harahan. 

Selected from the DocFest arts programme, the screening forms a dialogue with Barbara Hepworth’s sculptural and two-dimensional work, featuring films that explore an interplay of stillness and movement, bodies in space and the material histories of the land, shaped over geological time. The works tell stories of post-human life and new worlds in which plants and technology dominate, and highlight observations of human unpredictability and incidental acts, captured in natural and built environments.

This event is part of Sheffield DocFest’s touring Alternate Realities programme and is supported using public funding from Arts Council England. The Sheffield Docfest Alternate Realities programme is a touring programme that features immersive, artistically provocative and technologically progressive non-fiction works from around the world.
