Coined by filmmaker and media researcher Kevin B. Lee, the ‘desktop documentary’ is a production method of audiovisual media that sources its footage directly from the internet. Through the use of screen capturing software, the computer screen functions as both camera and canvas. The format simultaneously depicts and interrogates the ways in which we interact with the internet and technology as a whole.

Join us on February 25th from 19:00 to 21:30, when we will screen a series of short desktop documentaries. The programme brings together works by international artists and filmmakers, presenting a range of approaches to the form, from personal narratives to critical reflections on online culture and surveillance.

• “Watching The Pain of Others” by Lého Galibert-Laîné

• “TRANSFORMERS: THE PREMAKE” by Kevin B. Lee

• “My Mulholland” by Jessica McGoff.
