Short stories…small rebellions…mini manifestos…personal fables…snippets of memory… Join us at FOMO as we host MicroActs 20: An Evening of International Artist Film.
MicroActs is a program of short films, 6 minutes or less, exploring concentrated storytelling through moving image. From bold political expression to delicate personal memories to abstract experimental collages. MicroActs aims to create a thought-provoking, informative and diverse evening of film. Expect a diverse range of short films (narrative or non-linear, experimental or scripted, abstract emotions, comedy sketches, music videos, and more), MicroActs showcases works that share unique perspectives, intersectional experiences and tell stories.
This edition showcases films from 12 countries: Germany, Indonesia, Iraq, Italy, Republic of Korea, Peru, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, UK & USA! We’re delighted to announce that MicroActs 20 will take place at FOMO House, Shoreditch, a clubhouse & community hub for the filmmakers. Join us for inspiring & exciting evening of 18 experimental Artist Films from an international & UK based lineup of artist filmmakers!
Please note, MicroActs 20’s programme features works that include real footage of political violence, discussions of displacement & discrimination, and nudity. Some of the films feature flashing imagery, these will have notices beforehand. Overall, the screening has mature themes, and we would recommend 18+.
