Future Shorts is the largest short film network in the world.

Since 2003 they have built a new audience for film across the globe, developed a platform for filmmakers that allows millions of people worldwide to engage with their work.

Working across exhibition, distribution and experiential events, Future Shorts is the product of 9 years of audience development, experimentation and of reacting to the demand for another way of experiencing film.

Operating online, in live events and through commercial distribution, we believe strongly in the social experience of film; in cinema as a communicator and community that should not be restricted by geography, status, wealth or politics.

Sister company Future Cinema has become world renowned for re-imagining the cinema-going experience and championing ‘Live Cinema’, with events such as Secret Cinema receiving international acclaim from audiences and critics alike.

Save the Date – 30th March 2012

Opens Friday 30th March, 6-9pm

 

Paul Heijnen - Dutch artist/designer based in Eindhoven, Holland. Paul has designed an innovative folding, Gallery wall system that will be showcased March 30th and used as an artefact of Backlit Gallery. Paul is fast becoming a notable young designer in Holland and was approached for this project due to his economic functionality between space, practicality and representation.

Leila Al-Yousuf - Co-Director and studio member of Backlit, Leila Al-Yousuf will be creating a surreal environment in the project space, allowing the viewer to step into a world of a fragmented painting and become part of the substance of an illusory landscape. Her site specific works respond physically and structurally. Forms that weave the shapes of the architecture into the room and divide space; altering the way that people physically move through it.

Anastasia Shin - Shin graduated from Goldsmiths Art Practice course in 2011. Her work is an exploration of ‘the virtual.’ From Shin’s perspective, the virtual describes something that takes its point of reference from a real object, yet does not exist in a realm that is accessible to us. Working with video projection, Shin’s exhibition piece offers a glimpse into an uninhabitable place, where distortion interrupts the contemplation of the natural world.

Virtual Gallery - The Virtual Gallery project is an interactive exhibiting software designed by American programmer Dalai Fellinto commissioned by Narrative and Interactive Arts at the Nottingham Trent University. The Software will give audiences a chance to submit digital media artworks into a stereoscopic virtual gallery and navigate around the virtual space! This will be the second event using the virtual gallery, this time showing International artists.
