New Visions
Film Fund Screening
Studio Theatre
Knowing love or the hope of knowing love is the anchor that keeps us from falling into that sea of despair. – bell hooks, “all about love: NEW VISIONS”
For the Roundhouse Three Sixty Festival screening of short films from Roundhouse’s multi-award winning Film Fund programme, we celebrate love in all its forms – romantic love, love of self and, above all, communal love.
From our vast catalogue of short films made by some of the UK’s most talented young writer/directors, we’ve curated a programme of shorts that celebrate love as a radical act. And there won’t be a romcom in sight! This evening is about what, in her celebrated manifesto all about love: NEW VISIONS, the late great bell hooks called “the transformative power of love”.
Indeed, all the great movements for social justice in our society have strongly emphasized a love ethic. Yet listeners remain reluctant to embrace the idea of love as a transformative force.
