Screamstation Fest

An Investigation Into The Specific Relationship Between Sound And Image

History

Screamstation Fest is a film event that explores the on-going relationship between sound and image in contemporary experimental and narrative cinema.

---> The first Screamstation Fest took place in 2012 at Horse Hospital, London. The selection consisted of twenty three films by authors that drew from art, film, media, popular culture and philosophy. It included work from established artists such as Candice Breitz and Malcolm Le Grice but also introduced work from no less talented lesser known filmmakers, time-based media artists and the like. All the films that were selected for the event each negotiated this interconnection in a unique yet different way.
