Every film emerges from a body of work, a set of questions, and a way of looking at the world. In this session, four SIC participants present previous films that have shaped their artistic journeys. Bringing together three shorts and one feature film, the programme offers a first encounter with the filmmakers and the practices they bring into the SIC cycle. Through screenings and conversations, we will explore the ideas, methods and sensibilities that underpin their work.
