Real to Reel – The Craft Film Festival

The tools and materials available to makers have expanded exponentially in the last 10 years. This expansion is reflected in making practices that engage with the developments seen in field of production. This trend has seen a broader engagement with film, across process and filmmaking itself. The films shown in Real to Reel exemplify this movement, and represent the very best examples of makers and designers whose output is three dimensional, working with materials such as clay, textile, glass and film.
Film offers makers unique possibilities of expression. It can capture transformations, it can present singular and multiple narratives, it can enable the unlimited across any perspective.
Each film displayed is an artwork in its own right, and is concerned with craft and design. Digital and traditional film offer unique possibilities of expression; the ability to capture creation and destruction, as well as material and time-based transformations.
