Taking place at SARA’S over Labor Day weekend, Scrap Yard Screenings is a free, pop-up, three-screen, moving image festival organized by artist Tomi Faison.

Three Shorts Blocks, co-curated by artist Filip Kostic, put into conversation multiple generations of artists exploring ideas around networked culture, mediated images, and technology.
Mid-length and feature films include everything from the world premiere of a documentary on parasocial fashion-week photographers, to a transcendental black metal opera, to a re-make of Chris Marker’s San Soleil (1983) constructed collectively by over 40 artists and meme admins. All united in their boldness and vanguard spirit.

In between blocks of programming, Scrap Yard Screenings will host selections from the archive of utopian-pirate, public-access, live-streaming project QuaranTV which streamed non-stop for the first two thousand hours of the pandemic. Curated by founding collective member Kayla Drzewicki.

Scrap Yard Screenings will show each film on three screens in the same room at the same time and features couches for seating.
