SET Film Festival: Night 2# Closed Landscapes

SET presents a screening of six films exploring themes of personal and collective liberation. 

Two artists find solace in their correspondence, while a tender portrait of queer Nigerians bears intimate testimony to life in a series of films that explore confinement, both material and theoretical. Often returning to the motif of windows – and by extension, frames and screens – as portals for a liberatory imagination, the films ask: What nourishment can we draw from a precarious environment? How can we ‘make do’?  

From the ‘right to light’ movement and psychogeographic explorations of Britain’s post-industrial music scene, to the lived realities of a Calabrian charcoal burner, these films question what humans truly need, offering portraits of connections that endure and transcend capitalist constraints. 

The seven films screen together on Thursday 14 November, 7.30PM, at SET Social, Peckham. Doors open at 7PM. There will be a 15 minute interval, and the screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers hosted by Ellie Dobbs.

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