“A film festival unlike any other in Scotland, with a distinctive focus on unusual, experimental filmmaking that blurs the boundary between cinema and visual arts.” — The Skinny

“I caught a glimpse of something invaluable that weekend at Alchemy: that another world is possible, in some ways already here and being imagined.” — Little White Lies

“All films were captioned, and many had audio descriptions too, demonstrating that the festival team’s verbal commitments to questions of access and the democratisation of experimental film are not merely theoretical.” — Art Monthly

“Over four days of symposia, screenings, installations and performances the festival delivered a wealth of intellectual and artistic stimulation, but it was the experiential encounters that particularly stood out” — Sight & Sound
