Projections events take place monthly at Tyneside Cinema. They include self- and guest-curated screenings, and new live work for cinema. Six of each year’s events are drawn from our biannual Open Call for artists and curators.

What might an artists’ cinema look like? This spring, we’ve three possible answers. Josh Wilson rethinks cinema’s mode of attention in 75,000 Solar Emblems (2 May) fusing talk, performance and screening, while Susie Green & Simon Bayliss look to the ubiquitous form of the music video for signs of DIY culture in Artists’ Music Videos (27 June). Harriet Plewis’ day of live music, film and movement Loving Attention (19 May) meanwhile, proposes a parallel cinema of community and dialogue. Maybe the alternative is hiding in plain sight!
