Sheffield Fringe 2016: OBJECT DOCUMENTARY

JUNE 10-18 2016

BLOC PROJECTS
71 Eyre Lane
Sheffield S1 4RB

Now in its fifth edition, the third to take place at Bloc Projects, Sheffield Fringe includes both emerging and established artists working with the moving image in diverse ways. Formerly an annual event, Sheffield Fringe is now held in Sheffield biennially, outside of which it operates nomadically through international exhibitions, events and research projects. Its Sheffield-based manifestation coincides with Sheffield International Documentary Film Festival (Doc/Fest), with the intention of creating a complimentary platform for artists’ moving image work, and a context in which to encourage creative collaboration between the communities surrounding contemporary art and documentary film.

This year’s programme Object Documentary investigates the ethical challenges of regarding documentary film as an object, and documentary material as a resource, through a diverse series of screenings exploring themes ranging from international conflict resolution, the nature and creation of stories, the political use-value in filmmaking, colonial histories, and reflections on memory and nostalgia.

Participating artists are: Mox Mäkelä, Timo Menke & Nils Agdler, Patricia Bandeira, Ted Kennedy, Peter Martin, Francesco Pedraglio, Leafcutter John, Emma Leach, Alison J Carr, Jumana Manna & Sille Storihle, Rosalind Nashashibi, Richard Wiebe, Pat Law, Sasha Litvintseva, Sarah Beddington, Mairéad McClean, Xiaowen Zhu, Tinne Zenner, Daniel Jacoby, Ben Balcom, Sky Hopinka, Andrée-Anne Roussel, Zachary Epcar, Patricia Azevedo & Clare Charnley, Scott Willis, Ian Nesbitt, Liz von Graevenitz, Alistair Macdonald, Michael Day, Richard Bartle, Maud Haya-Baviera, Lesley Guy & Lea Torp Nielsen & Dale Holmes, Jenni Olson, Bloc Studio Artists.
