Baltic Cinema: Selected 15
Thu 24 July | 18:30
£6 Full price / £4 Students, under 18s, unwaged and 65+
Selected 15 showcases a vibrant collection of new short films by some of the most exciting early-career artists working today, nominated by the shortlisted artists of the Film London Jarman Award 2024.
From a speculative oil rig ritual in the Scottish Highlands to the sonic echoes of South London’s buried waterways; from the intimate retelling of a mother-daughter memory to digital hauntings of racialised surveillance, these works explore ecology, mythology, history, and identity through experimental, personal and poetic lenses. Expect a rich mix of storytelling and experimentation — intimate, defiant and dazzling.
With work by Fergus Carmichael, Jazmin Morris, Kadeem Oak, Liberty Smith, Nia Fekri, Niki Kohandel, Samara Addai and Teef Chan.
Curated and produced by videoclub and Film London Artists’ Moving Image Network (FLAMIN). Supported by Arts Council England and Film London.
Doors open 18:30; Film starts 18:45. Baltic Kitchen is open until 18:30 for drinks, which you are welcome to take up to the cinema.
Baltic Cinema
Baltic Cinema is a new year-round cinema programme at Baltic, lighting up our Level 1 Cinema with the best new and archive films. Bringing otherwise rarely-screened work to the North East, Baltic Cinema also expands our exhibitions, offering a chance to explore further some of the themes they raise.
Baltic Cinema has five strands:
Currents presents new work from across the world
Sources expands on our exhibitions
Selected shows films selected by our artists and partners
Quayside Kino is a monthly screening for families and children
News From Home offers films on and from the North East, for the people who live here
All regular screenings take place in our Level 1 Cinema. In addition, you can catch free drop-in films in Front Room every week.
Baltic Cinema is supported by Film Hub North with National Lottery funding on behalf of
the BFI Film Audience Network.
Please note we cannot offer refunds on this event.
