Alternative Film Club #5

Come along to a new weekly film club in Huntly and join us in watching experimental, alternative and artist-made films.

Exploring how film can reveal, provoke and reflect the past, present and future, the film club will be a home for film in its broadest sense - from humorous critiques of historical narratives to careful documentaries, tongue-in-cheek romances, to films challenging traditional filmmaking practices, and many more. Each week’s programme will be responsive to the week before – building from the conversation, reflections, suggestions and interests of everyone who joins in.

This screening will feature two short films made in Huntly by Edinburgh-based artist Anthony Schrag. Shot nine years apart, these reflective and humorous films feature three brothers talking about male role models and fatherhood. The films will be introduced by Anthony with local resident Jason Williamson, whose sons feature in the films. This will be followed by discussion and another experimental film selected by Bojan

No knowledge of filmmaking is required to join in – this is a relaxed screening with space for questions and curiosity. Refreshments will be provided.
