Almaty Underground Screening Series is a dynamic and vibrant regular film event that showcases independent and underground films in the city of Almaty, Kazakhstan. This series provides a platform for local and international artists to present their unique and unconventional works to a diverse audience. With a focus on alternative storytelling, experimental techniques, and thought-provoking themes, the Almaty Underground Screening Series aims to challenge traditional cinematic norms and push the boundaries of storytelling.
The 15th edition of the (S8) Mostra de Cinema Periférico (A Coruña, Spain) will start with an homage to the late American filmmaker Kenneth Anger, a renowned figure in occult and esoteric themes on film. The festival's image draws inspiration from Tarot cards like The Magician, Strength, and The Wheel of Fortune - symbols that connect to Anger's exploration of magic and mysticism.

This programme is a survey of some of Stephen Littman's videos alongside sequences from the work of David Larcher (1942-2023) that Littman has compiled. Larcher was a maverick filmmaker whose epic work includes the legendary Mare's Tail (1969) and Monkey's Birthday (1975). Larcher sought Littman's advice when he moved from filmmaking to video in the early 1980s.
