ShefFringe 10 #1 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) SHEFFIELD FRINGE 2016: Object Documentary June 10 – 18, 2016 Opening: June 10, 6pm Bloc Projects 71 Eyre Lane Sheffield S1 4RB, UK Apologies you may have already heard elsewhere about the new edition of Sheffield Fringe June 10 – 18. I wanted to reach out to let you know about a very special pair of screenings of short artists’ documentaries at Bloc Projects, Sheffield, on Sunday 12 June. Titled Ingested Entities and Concrete Utopia, they are screening respectively at 2pm and 4pm, as part of Sheffield Fringe 2016: Object Documentary. Overall this edition considers the ethical challenge of the ‘objectification’ of actuality, and within this framework, Sunday’s programmes investigate the making of both art and communities through film. Ingested Entities, which is selected from submissions to our Open Call include works by Daniel Jacoby, Zachary Epcar, and Ben Balcom. The films deal with the personal, psychological impacts of the media ingestion, and what it means to be an artist in the current moment. Ingested Entities is followed by Concrete Utopia at 4pm with films by artists based at Sheffield's Bloc Studios configuring incisive and experimental portraits of communities, many under threat of dissolution. Throughout, the impulse to create, particularly the impulse to create collaboratively, is revealed as a sustaining force. A discussion with the artists will follow the screening. We are hoping you’ll be able to join us. Sunday’s programmes will be thought provoking to audiences interested in collectives, alternative economies, and sustainable living. We are hoping for wide participation, and contributions to a lively debate. Attendance to all events is free. You can read more about the programmes online at Sheffield Fringe. With kind regards, Sheffield Fringe Edited June 2, 2016 by ShefFringe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
