Back to the Future: SPECTRAL - Edition IV - day 1 (analog film festival)

Back to the Future: SPECTRAL, Edition IV, day 1, 19th September 2025, analog/chemical/handmade 16mm/8mm/35mm film festival at WORM, Rotterdam, Netherlands "Back to the Future is a 3-day festival dedicated to analogue moving images and optical sound - a celebration of the *real* film medium. The international programme features audio-visual performances, films, presentations, devices, a motion picture panorama, and a radio play. This 4th edition has a focus on performative & expanded cinema. On show will be works that venture beyond the constraints of the passive cinema to propose an engaged, shared experience of the inimitable ritual of flickering light and shadow. The festival is an initiative of Filmwerkplaats, WORM’s artist-run analogue film lab and a vital hub for DIY film practice in the Netherlands and across Europe. Many of the works presented are created within the context of SPECTRAL, a joint project by six special film labs across Europe." Program Friday 19th September 18
