Family Olsen

Expect noisy playful viewing in the cinema. Olsen is being crafted with children in mind, but will be a memorably rumpus cinematic experience for grown-ups too. We will be screening artists' film and video, with a musical interlude and home-made food. It will be brilliant.

For those unacquainted with Olsen (est. 2005), it is a DIY event that presents artists' film and video on an irregular basis, most often on a Sunday afternoon at the Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds. Olsen events are about the act of collective viewing, the social possibilities of cinema, and making available work that might otherwise not be seen.

Events feature the screening of artists' film and video (new and old, national and international), the serving of food, and, at times, live performances of expanded cinema and experimental music.

Full line up yet to be announced but will include work by Guy Sherwin, Greg Kurcewicz, Rose Lowder, Malcolm le Grice, David Blandy, Len Lye, Paul Bush and more, plus live music from Verdine Etoria, Steve Nuttall and Joe Gilmnore, and a fluxus score or two.

Presented as part of the Leeds Young People's Film Festival.
