KONTEKST Film Festival 2026: ENTANGLEMENTS

About

**KONTEKST's** third film festival comes to Conway Hall this summer, presenting work by emerging practitioners across ethnographic film, experimental moving image, installation, and live performance. Organised by **KONTEKST Collective**, the festival brings together artists, filmmakers, and researchers working at the intersection of creative practice and social inquiry. *ENTANGLEMENTS* explores multispecies encounters and relationships: the messy, intimate, political, and often overlooked connections between humans and the more-than-human world. From microbial ecologies to interspecies care - from environmental collapse to queer kinship with plants and animals - the programme asks how we live alongside and are shaped by other forms of life. How can film and art make these relationships visible, felt, and ethically navigable in a time of ecological crisis? This festival is for anyone curious about how film can grapple with ecological responsibility and multispecies futures: artists, researchers, activists, or anyone interested in work that helps you think and feel differently about the world. **PROGRAMME** The main festival programme will take place on Saturday, featuring a day and evening of curated screenings and artist presentations, alongside workshops, discussions, and installations that invite you to get involved. *On Sunday, drop in for free to visit the exhibition, or join in a relaxed community discussion to reflect on the themes of the festival.*
