Already unlocked? for access

Following the sell-out success of our partnership with Edge of Frame at our last four festivals, EOF return with three curated programmes of work at the intersection of animation, experimental film and artists’ moving image.


Specially curated by Edwin Rostron – the London-based artist, animator, writer, curator, editor of Edge of Frame blog and festival juror these programmes celebrate this incredibly rich and vibrant, yet often marginalised and hard to define art form. Here we bring you the UK premiere of a trilogy of films by the talented artist Karolina Glusiec.


“Imagine you can accomplish everything you always dreamed of. What if all that you always dreamed of is… failing. I can only speak for myself. Something that I dream of sometimes is the thing I’m afraid of the most. Like dreaming of driving and having the fear that held me against doing it for years. What I intended to be a structured narrative became a film in the shape of a lost broadcast. Each image that I made was a sort of a goodbye to each and every single dream it resonated with. Dreams of my own and dreams of the others who inspired me to chase after”

Karolina Glusiec
