Movies for the Apocalypse

OPEN CALL!!!

Send us your shorts (under 20min) of any genre on the theme of apocalypse (the current one, theme can be creatively interpreted). We are selecting films for a post-apocalyptic time capsule, to show people of the future what our lives were like before the (maybe) impending Big Collapse.

Low/no budget films will be prioritised. 

We are accepting submissions on a rolling basis from now until April. In-progress work and/or proposals will also be considered! If you have something you think works, you can DM either of us on instagram ( @gisela.mulwinda  or @agathapple ), or email us at agatha.scaggiante@gmail.com.

The selected films will screen at Movies for the Apocalypse this May in the SET Woolwich Vault!

Unearthing the Archive

Curator - Aidan Cowling (CANADA)

In a short amount of time, the Internet and digital technologies have dramatically  changed the way we live our lives, and we are beginning to register and quantify how  our daily contact with the digital world has altered the archive. How is technology being  mobilized today to preserve and present archive and history? This residency invites 

participants to experience ANIMA Casa Rural through the lens of the archive, and  consider how can the historical archive be used to find a way forward and makes sense  of today.

Inventory

A never ending story of what we have lost with the pasage of time (life)

Identity and exploration of the artists

Document and curate the artist’s lifeline  and creation all the while asking the question: What have you lost?

Since I was little I have wondered where do things go and where are we going?

As individuals and as society we organize and try to keep and collect as much as we can, but there are many times that we lose track. “We lose things, thoughts, people”

We know all those things we just need to dig to ourselves (in this case the artist self ) and expose.

And inventory can trace a lifeline too, The past, the present and the future. An artist can explore their past or just try to explain their future.
