FetFilm, 2024
Stockholm, Sweden
FetFilm aims to explore the nature of moving images by taking video works out of gallery spaces and placing them in environments where they can reach a wider audience. In this process, it focuses on audience interaction, the culture of co-viewing and the shared experience of co-viewing.
The traveling organization collaborates with individuals and organizations in different locations to curate engaging film screenings. It procures films through open calls and aims to find those that fit its themes, not to exclude them. The platform creates a semi-professional space where film enthusiasts come together, collectively explore the medium and engage in a mutual learning process.
