SHHH X THE SOCIAL LIFE OF FILM
12 – 13 – 14 – 15 / 9 / 2024
The first edition of The Social Life of Film was organised last year in Copenhagen by PRISMS and Terrassen. This year, Monokino is bringing the meeting to Ostend.

We are delighted to participate at the second edition of The Social Life of Film, an international gathering of nomadic film platforms and collectives from different corners of the world.
Nomadica will be there with Tommaso Isabella @unozerotondotondo
This year SLOF is hosted by @monokinooostende Monokino in Ostend and in connection with Shhh, the yearly festival dedicated to the love relationship between silent film and the sea. For this special edition it will show films on the beach, with some screenings accompanied by musicians or storytellers. Shhh is anything but ‘silent.’

If it’s true, as Goethe said, that the eye is the copy of the sun, it’s also true that all manifestations of life in a certain sense are copies of the sun, and that between visual sensation and all other sensations there are no dividing hiatuses. (Aldo Braibanti)
