Daydream Nation

Daydream Nation is the first a series of screenings and events, launching dept.con.temp's new community cinema project. 

Please join us at The Rum Shack on 13th May 2024 for Daydream Nation, a special event with a screening of short animated films from local and international artists, a special audio visual performance by Karolina Glusiec & Southside Somnambulant Society, tunes across the evening from Si B, and featured artwork from Jamie Temple.

Come along, have a drink, listen to some music, watch some brilliant films and live performances, and pick up some special merch!!

Daydream Nation is a celebration of short DIY filmmaking, which in many ways carries the qualities and ethos of grunge. If this kind of filmmaking was a music genre then we would call it “visual grunge” !

The line up of films is made up of people that we come to know and love, and will include new and old works by:

Mary Martins - Danny Grant - Collette Rayner - Peter Millard - Ross Hogg - Pallavi Agarwala - Diyala Muir - Alex Karaconji - Kohana Wilson - Ruby O’Hare - Louis - Zekkereya El-magharbel - Hannah Brewerton - Edwin Rostron - Peter Millard

Coming up soon from the Daydream Nation programme we will be hosting regular events made up of intertwined meetings, screenings, music performances, talks, radio events and workshops taking place in-person around Glasgow and online. We are planning a follow-up workshop combining animation and printmaking soon too, so keep an eye out on our instagram @dept.con.temporary & @daydream.nation2024, or sign up to our mailing list here.

Tickets are £4, but no one will be turned away from lack of funds. If you can, please consider making a donation. All profits will got towards future events and paying our artists.

We want our events to be open and welcoming to all, so please be considerate and mindful of those around you. Sadly access is non step free, but we will always do our best to make sure our events are as accessible as possible.
