Live Cinema UK: Artist Commission

Building on the successes of the Live Cinema Conference held at King’s College London in 2016 and the Live Cinema Summit at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2018, the Live Cinema Festival of Research and Innovation 2020 will address artistic and technological advances in the field of live cinema: film screenings augmented through live or immersive elements, including site-specific locations, technological intervention and digital participation. The festival will take place over 4 days in the week commencing 18th May and will feature cutting edge academic research, master classes, workshops, a programme of screenings, Q&A sessions and world premieres of exclusive live events.

We will be recruiting new artist associates to participate in a series of development activities and workshops starting in March 2020. The associate artist process will challenge the increasingly popular notion that the future of film spectatorship will be dominated by digitally enabled home viewing and streaming, and will instead explore the possibilities provided by the cutting-edge innovations in Live Cinema Production and Exhibition that respond to audiences’ increasing desire for live and collective cinematic experiences.
