Day 2: View here

Presenting 14 films and moving image works from an

excellent group of artists and filmmakers, Biscuit Tin

has returned for its second year at EMBASSY gallery.

Biscuit Tin takes its name from the places where we hide the things that don’t have a place, yet we find ourselves holding on to. As there still in this thing, project, film, artwork, lies a value, something to feel and learn from, it’s just a matter of finding the right time and place for it, which is what we hope to do with this festival.

Through these films we go on different journeys, from geological speculations, digging and examining past realities though modern technology. Entering into domestic spaces and domestic work, peeking out at gardens with fallen apples. Exploring how we live, the politics of housing and living in care, how we care for each other and care for our parents. Moving through passages, flowing from narrated forests or cruising in parks and euphoric colours, or simply moving through the motions, one day at a time.

Doors open at 7pm and films start at 7.30pm. There will be an intermission half way through, with the event finishing at 9pm. The screenings are free to attend however there is a limited amount of seating so arriving early is recommended.

Come and join us for two cosy evenings of films, drinks, and of course, biscuits! ✨🍪
