Nightcap
Join us for a wee nightcap in the Heart of Hawick café bar. Free entry with any festival cinema ticket.
Of Lines And Creases
Across ancient geologies, oceanic depths and celestial bodies, the seven films in Of Lines And Creases push at the borders and boundaries of perspective.
Shapes You Take
Nine films seek orientation in the world – sketching, animating, performing and speculating about the body and senses in motion.
This Part Of Me Which Is You
Seven films sculpt meaning from the space between worlds – from the spiritual to the folkloric, the colonised to the diasporic, the meteoric to the transcendent.
Empedocles Syndrome
A new performance lecture by GF Ramsay on the joyously dense entanglements between volcanoes, the pre-Socratics and early cinema.
Festival Ceilidh
Join us for another popular night of collective memory-making and dance floor camaraderie. Kilts encouraged, all welcome!
Remake Remodel
Four films persuasively re-enter history – arresting its development and intervening upon its systems of violence and renewal.
Lands Of Make Believe
Four films scrutinise mythmaking as the basis and backdrop of narratives taken for granted – those of nationhood, colonialism, empire.
In This Night Without Light
Five films use the cinematic image to trace, map, preserve and amplify the absences and aftershocks of trauma.
