About this Event

Join us for an evening of ecoweird, cli-fi, and folk cinema, exploring the strange entanglements of ecology, myth, matter, entropy, climate, and speculative imaginings through moving image.

This curated programme brings together a selection of short films by Dissimilar, Ecological Folklore, Abbey People, MUD Collective, Duncan Ganley, Alisa Kutsenko, and LEAP Lab, alongside other works that blur the boundaries between documentary, fiction, ghosts, and ecological narratives.

Together these films open up uncanny ways of sensing the more-than-human world where landscapes shift, stories mutate, trauma seeps, and time untangles. Our encounters with environmentally transformed landscapes are reimagined through experimental and poetic cinema.


Venue:

Room 117, Cambridge School of Art, East Road, Cambridge CB1 1PT


This event is part of the Weirding Sustainability Festival 2026, co-ordinated by Anglia Ruskin University and the University of Cambridge. For more info, see: LEAP Lab: Living Experiments in Arts-Science Practice to Re-imagine Sustainability - CRASSH

This screening forms part of a day of Ecoweirding practices, including a psychogeographic walk from Cambridge to Nine Wells earlier in the day, exploring water, infrastructure, myth, and ecological futures across the Cambridge landscape.


Accessibility Notes

This is a seated event on the first floor (approx. 1.5 hours with breaks) and can be accessed by a lift.
