SET Film Festival returns to SET Social, Peckham, London, for its fourth edition this November, bringing together contemporary, artist and archival film across a month of screenings and events.

Curated by Amina Ali, Ellie Dobbs, Verity Monroe and the wider SET FF26 team, this year’s programme comprises four short film nights, a feature-length screening and a free evening of archival film and performance. Each night centres on a distinct theme, with selected screenings followed by Q&As with the filmmakers.

Curated and organised by Zhel Vukicevic and Kerry Baldry, Screamstation Fest presents two programmes exploring the shifting relationship between sound, image, narrative and cinematic form. Across 17 films from 13 countries, the 2026 edition moves from radical experiments in perception, structure and audiovisual language to short films engaging with sexuality, power, ecology, violence and the contemporary world. Ten works that approach cinema as a space for experimentation with image, sound, duration, movement and perception.

Cinema Konsonant and Kino Ponrepo present a two-program screening in remembrance of Fred Worden, who passed away on March 7 this year. Fred Worden (b. 1946, New York), described as "post-1960s pioneer of cinematic optical investigation," spent more than five decades exploring what film preservationist Mark Toscano calls "the outer limits of our vision." Having studied under Pat O'Neill and Robert Nelson at CalArts, he experimented with a wide range of approaches to filmmaking, gradually developing a cinematic language increasingly detached from conventional representation.
