Palace.MIXX - #PalaceFilmFest - Short Film Gala at The Cube

A gig held at The Cube on Friday 15th March. The event starts at 13:00.


Start Time: 13:00

Palace.MIXX showcases contemporary works by queer artists that explore how various aspects of queer identity play out within a variety of approaches to experimental cinema – experienced as part of the Queer Dystopian Palace Party. In every work of art, we see traces of its creator (be it an aesthetic or a layer the artist’s creative output embedded into the personality of a character. As the definition of selfhood changes within the context of immersive digital experience and the increase of our identification with these digital mannerisms, so too does the idea of connection evolve and morph. Palace.MIXX is a unique and eclectic selection of queer, experimental film and digital media exploring these ideas of connection and self image.
