SET Film Festival: Night 1# A Rich Seam

SET presents a programme of films that explore the radical power of emulation, mirroring, and memorialising as tools to repair the past and to weave new futures.  

Approaching film as a medium through which time can be unraveled and refabricated, these works bridge voids and fill in the blanks, stitching fictions into the margins of historical record and creating memorial devices for futures yet to come. From a queer reimagining of U.S. pioneer narratives to the braided strands of a mother and daughter’s genetic archive, and the restoration of architectural memory from the scraps of a war-torn territory, the works in this programme ask how film can uncover, re-stage, and intertwine forgotten histories and imagined memories. They offer, in the words of one, “No answer, but an echo.” 

The seven films screen together on Thursday 7 November, 7.30PM, at SET Social, Peckham. Doors open at 7PM.

Tickets are £6/£8 and are available here.

There will be a 15 minute interval, and the screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers hosted by Agnès Houghton-Boyle
