Amant, Brooklyn, NY
Building on his influential 1988 essay FACE(T)S: Notes on Faciality, art historian and theorist John C. Welchman traces the shifting significance of the face across epochs, regimes, artistic movements, and philosophical frameworks. Arguing that the face is not merely a symbol or sign but also territory and a projective fiction—a surface or imagination saturated with religious, political, and aesthetic meaning—Welchman offers a longform reading of faciality as a site of ideological and representational conflict.

Good Shepherd Studios, London, UK
The Slow Film Festival gives a platform to filmmakers whose work engages with time and duration on screen. The festival is a space to view and discuss films that are pushing the boundaries of “slow film” as well as those that have defined its history. It aims to be a meeting point where the uses of duration in film can be debated and where new friendships and potential collaborations can take root.
