Mascara Film Club


Mascara Film Club is an artist-run film club, which mostly takes place in North-East London. Taking place outside both film festival circuits and institutional art spaces, we screen artists’ moving image in more convivial contexts. We understand film screenings defined less as the relation between film and spectators in hushed rooms, but rather as performative and social events where the critical intimacies of friendship and community can come to the fore. Through our programming we seek to bring into conversation films and people, and foster a self-organised infrastructure for moving image practitioners.

Mascara Film Club is organised by Rufus Rock,  Daisy Smith and Katarzyna Łukasik.

Image description: Animated GIF of video stills from the screening ‘02’. Video still 1: Digitally drawn cartoon of a small figure standing in front of a large hedge with three pigeons stuck in it. Video still 2: A digital collage of a fish emoji in a real life coral reef with a waterfall pouring out of the fish emoji’s eye. Video still 3: A woman gestures her hands to her sides with her palms facing up in front of a green screen. Two smaller image float above her upturned hands: one of herself turned to the side with her arm raised and another image of two white circles on a black background. Video still 4: A man dressed as a snail crawls along the floor in front of a glass block wall.

A false diamond earring, fallen pigeons, waterfalls, snail telegraphy, sock puppets: everything on earth is sopping sponge wet. For its second screening, Mascara Film Club presents a series of shorts that delve into fantastical and logorrheic narratives. Featuring work by artists Emma Finn, Nick Granata, Heather Phillipson, Paul Simon Richards, Louis Scantlebury, and Reman Sadani.
