A new instalment of Listen With Your Eyes, where curious minds and open hearts can come together to drift through a world of experimental cinema.

Listen With Your Eyes 6 features a live cinema performance by Guy Sherwin and Lynn Loo. Using multiple projectors and live interventions, they explore the magical qualities of celluloid film – light, movement, sound, and time. 

The programme includes a series of immersive, rhythmic works that reflect the movements of humans, animals, and the natural world, concluding with a 50th-anniversary presentation of Sherwin’s landmark work, Man with Mirror.

Approx total event runtime: 60min

Please note: FFC screenings are designed for families to attend together so adults can only come if they’re bringing a child, and children can only come along if accompanied by an adult. We are able to accommodate ‘babes in arms’ at FFC screenings for children of 18 months and under. Any child over 18 months must have a seat purchased for them.
