    Event description

    Over the past four months, our night-time program Immaterial has centered around digital arts that celebrate the often overlooked and underrepresented work of digital artists.

    In this final night of Immaterial - Cinémathèque, join guest programmer Sivani Yaddanapudi for a night of cinema, as we celebrate all things screen. 

    Watch short films from Western Sydney filmmakers, get a portrait photo professionally taken, experiment with cameras, and network with fellow creatives at our final Immaterial event!

    Note: This is a safe space for you to experiment with your lens-based artforms. BYO cameras to test out on the night! Photographers and filmmakers will be around to guide you. 

    Event Program: 

    Interactive Engagements

    Jane Fan: Cybermancy 2 | 4 - 8pm

    Leave a Message After the Beep | 4 - 8pm
