VIDEOCLUB presents : Olsen
Olsen is a DIY collective that, for the last three years, has been intermittently
screening avant-garde cinema with tea and cake at Leeds’ Hyde Park Picture House.
For this one-off event organised by videoclub, Olsen will present an afternoon
programme of new moving image works by established and little known international
artists – served with tea and homemade cake (vegan too). Expect lyrical, personal
and abstract experimental cinema from people who care.
A limited edition recipe/film booklet will also be made for the event. For further
information about films and Olsen go to:

VIDEOCLUB : remembered/forgotten
A selection of international work from videoclub’s most recent call for artists’
moving image. All the works selected focus upon auto/semi/biographical content
that has been made by filmmakers who are using artists’ moving image to approach
their subject matter, rather than straight documentary format. Fleeting glimpses,
broken narratives and the use of image over language reveals the structure of memory
and recall, as a fragmented, and re-narrated/imagined phenomenon, as opposed to
a simple narrative line.
Artists showing work are: Juliette Buss, Yin-Ju Chen, Aikaterini Gegisian, Ana Husman,
Esther Johnson, Gazelle Samizay and Grace Schwindt

VIDEOCLUB presents : A Wall is a Screen
On the 25 October,
A Wall is a Screen (Hamburg) will be making a moving image
tour of Brighton, exploring the walls and screens of the city, re-imagining the city
through film.
"The project »A Wall is a Screen« takes advantage of the »nightly downtime« in the
vitality of the down town area. It is a combination of a guided city tour and a film
night. The group of participants walks through downtown and stops at bright walls
where short films of various genres are shown. After the end of one film, the group
continues on to the next wall and film". - From A Wall is a Screen's website.
Meet at Lighthouse at 7:30pm, the screening will travel throughout the city during the evening.
