Floating Cinema Shorts

Ikon will be screening a selection of experimental shorts from some of Jean Painléve's contemporaries on their boat.

To complement their current Jean Painlevé exhibition, Ikon will be screening a selection of experimental shorts from some of his contemporaries. During the 30s Painlevé's work was often screened as part of France's thriving 'cine-club' scene, and this afternoon's event offers a taste of those programmes. Includes work by Georges Méliès, Jean Vigo and Joris Ivens, and free refreshments.

Also screening at 2pm is the family-friendly Fins and Flippers programme, an hour of underwater shorts to help you find your sea legs.
