Kanal’s opening weekend programme is already completely packed—but for those who simply cannot get enough, we’re just around the corner. Double down on your cultural weekend with our screening programme, or just drop by to rest your feet.

From Thursday until Sunday, you can find an alternating selection of films in our “blackbox”, alongside our main exhibition What the Land Remembers — Counter-Archives from Iran.

The works on display are part of Artists Film International, a touring film programme collectively curated and presented by fifteen international arts organisations, convened by Forma. This year, the programme’s theme is A Kind of Power, bringing together a selection of international artists whose films renegotiate the fraught legacies of representation and respond to the conditions under which people, histories, and territories are made visible.

Many of the artists move beyond critique alone, to explore how moving-image might create new forms of relation, attention, and collective presence. While some works confront contemporary systems of visibility directly, others propose alternative ways of inhabiting and understanding the world through ritual, memory, reciprocity, and acts of witnessing.

You can find the full list of works below. Keep an eye on this page for the daily programme.
