WTF Thursdays: Motion in Frame 2

Following the success of its inaugural edition in September 2024, Motion in Frame returns with a powerful second instalment.

Curated and hosted by Petra Haller, a member of the CDS Artist Community and interdisciplinary artist known for her work in tap dance, jazz, and performance art, Frame in Motion 2 brings together a diverse programme of short films by both Chisenhale Studios members and selected external artists.

The event provides a unique space to celebrate artists working across disciplines who engage with film and video as a space for innovation and storytelling. The featured works may take many forms — narrative shorts, experimental film, video art, performance documentation, animation, or movement-based visual explorations — but they are all united by a desire to push boundaries and connect deeply with audiences.

The evening includes a post-screening Q&A with participating artists.
