Mascara Film Club takes place once a month in a bar in North-East London. We screen artists’ moving image in more convivial contexts, batting our lashes to the rhythm of the unexpected, the seductive, the challenging, the political, the overlooked and the underseen.

This month we’re collaborating with Going Away.tv to present a screening of works selected from their online channel, examining how ecology, class and sexuality operate within virtual and digital spaces.
‘Going Away.tv’ is an online platform hosting live streamed artists’ moving image 24/7, combining work from a variety of localities and backgrounds. At once embracing and critiquing the democratic nature of streaming platforms such as ‘Twitch’ and ‘Youtube Live’, ‘Going Away.tv’ will continuously present the work of multiple artists working in moving image and broadcasting, randomised but presented sequentially twenty-four hours a day. On returning visits to ‘Going Away’ you may not see the same work twice.

Join us on the Leap Day for the first edition of Gatherings, with an afternoon programme of performance, readings and screenings. Gatherings is a new and ongoing event series by Mascara Film Club exploring the intersection of Performance and Artists Moving Image. The series looks to foreground these time-based media as open, social and communal events. Hosted by San Mei Gallery, this inaugural edition of Gatherings takes as its subject the use of scripts and artist writing within video and performance.
Please note that this event will not be taking place in our regular location, but at San Mei Gallery in Brixton. Given that we won’t be hosted in a bar, we’ve decided this will be a sober event. Instead, we will be providing some delicious vegan food!

What sleeps in the mouth of the ventriloquist's dummy? Mascara Film Club presents five artists’ shorts that speak through relayed voices, as pointed power plays surface across expanded testimonies. Turnpike Lane sings karaoke, a printer interrogates and John McKeown is fed lines from a Dustin Hoffman interview. Including films by free.yard, Bronte Dow, Patrick Staff, Kathryn Elkin and Richard Whitby.
