“Millions of people around the world – including in the UK today – believe that spirits or demons can take over a living person’s body. But neuroscience tells a very different story. So if a demonic possession isn’t real, what’s actually going on?”From:
“You’ll often see a glorious display of papier-mâché unicorn heads, drag queens in mermaid tails and more fairy wings than you can shake a trident at. But these aren’t just accessories – they’re queer symbols with deep historic roots. To truly understand who queer people are today, we must confront the twisted tales of the past. ”

“*Selected 16* presents a vibrant collection of new short films by some of the most exciting early-career artists working today. These films were nominated by artists shortlisted for the Film London Jarman Award 2025: Arwa Aburawa & Turab Shah, Morgan Quaintance, George Finlay Ramsay and Hope Strickland. Curated by videoclub and Film London Artists’ Moving Image Network (FLAMIN), this compelling programme tours leading arts venues across the UK.”
