[ Making Kin(o)! 自主放映祭 vol.1 ]: three weekends of artist film artist-run film festival in Taipei

Inspired by the concept from Donna Haraway, “Making Kin” is collectively creating, co-producing, and co-supporting kin making sci-fi imagination. Then, how about making kin(o)? How about making a film collective locally in Taiwan? Could making films and micro-cinemas be a co-living proposal besides the personal context, auteurism, and personal experiments? How about crossing the borders and making kins through making kino(s)?

Featuring works from participants of Image Forum, members of artist-run film labs Black Hole Collective Film Lab and Filmwerkplaats, as well as the local Taiwanese artists. This screening series, self-organized by the filmmakers (@ReaRflex), will take place in an artist-run space, THE HALL. Through the DIY events, we hope to create a space for dialogues, new possibilities, and chances for collaborations. 

Date: Jan 24th, Jan 30th, and Feb 6th 2021
Venue: THE HALL (Taiwan, Taipei, Da’an District, Da'an Road, Section 1st)

Join us on Sat 6th Feb for a special online edition of the Moving Image Salon, with featured guest artists Tereza Stehlíková and Adonia Bouchehri.

Presented by artist Daniel & Clara, the Moving Image Salon is a regular gathering event for artists working with moving image and experimental filmmaking – a relaxed and open space for conversation and exchange about contemporary moving image practices, a networking event and critical forum.

For LSFF 2021’s Platform showcase, we’re excited to screen the hallucinatory, kaleidoscopic works of Colectivo Los Ingrávidos.

Since forming in Tehuacán, Mexico in 2011, the collective have anonymously produced and disseminated over 300 audio-visual works, spanning form from essay films, found-footage reconstruction, feverish shamanistic incantations and charged acts of political resistance.

Both dizzying, kaleidoscopic prayer and a tenacious ode to Black selfhood, London Short Film Festival opens with the first UK presentation of HOWDOYOUSAYYAMINAFRICAN?'s 35-part experimental opera.

The collective, an evolving line up of poets and artists from across the world including composers Kelsey Lu and TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone, abstracts and reimagines opera in any traditional conception.
