What it seems to run a film screening programme

It’s 3.25am on the 8th of May, just about 12 hours to go till the final screening session of the film programme I have curated at my workplace.

I had wanted to write about it earlier before this weekend, alas things cropped up and I just could not find the time and energy to do it. After an unintended 2 hours nap just now however, perhaps now is the right time to pen down my thoughts.

Films and video art have always been one of my interests. Following up the series of video art exhibitions last year, I thought of experimenting with a different format this time round. Instead of a more conventional exhibition style that showcases video works on loop, I decided to go with something more cinema-like and planned for scheduled film screening sessions.

Going further back, both of these were originally ideas that my ex-boss suggested, but perhaps the timing was not right back then. Having already done some research and compiling of works, I went back to the same list again to look at what I can put together coherently.
