+ Live: Ama Owusu

A travelling projectionist falls asleep mid-show, and the audience in a coastal village begins to dream the rest of the film for him. Asante-Hill’s playful short feature is about the people who watch films as much as the films themselves. The closing night, with a new score by Ama Owusu for piano and electronics.

2K restoration from the only surviving print, 2025.
