This fifth edition of SHHH is slightly smaller, more intimate and therefore extra cozy. Last year we went big and loud, with 35mm and techno – this year we’re going for the living room feeling by focusing on 8mm, intimate musical accompaniment and good food.
Dates:
Friday, September 15, 2023 (All day) to Saturday, September 16, 2023 (All day)

A retrospective of the film work of Erin M McCuskey (AUS), including a three channel screening of the work 'Precious Fragments' in select spaces. In fusing analogue film (recorded and archival), music, dance, literature, theatre and a visual artist's perspective into digital cinematic works, these are films that are at first sensual and delightful, and then resonant with a power poetic and deep.
The first piece in the puzzle of artist Daniel & Clara's Avebury Imaginary project, Notes From a Journey uses images and sounds captured during a journey through the British countryside to Avebury stone circle as the material for an exploration at the edges of human perception and reality. A film that has been described as a “visionary travelogue” and an “experimental folk horror”, Notes from a Journey invites viewers to take a trip through vivid colour fields, foreboding darkness, ancient mysteries and immersive soundscapes.
Mysterious transmissions, long-forgotten video posts, frozen images lodged in the mind, animation erupting from the unconscious – a programme of short artist films exploring the tensions between lived and imagined realities, with films by Adonia Bouchehri, Daniel & Clara, Duncan Poulton, Edwin Rostron.
