Usurp Zone5 Film Festival India
The Usurp Zone5 Film Festival is screening over 80 experimental, art films across venues in New Delhi, India. A major screening is at the iconic India Habitat Centre on 19 March 2 – 7pm at The Experimental Art Gallery, ICH, New Delhi.
A selection of films are being screened in collaboration with film clubs and colleges, and a very special day of screenings has been organised at the India Habitat Centre – see the programmes below.
The UsurpZone5 Film Festival is curated from an open call by Usurp Art, that received over 460 compelling submissions, from every continent and over 60 countries. This ambitious festival highlights the politics of DIY creativity at a time of cuts and austerity. The programming for the festival employs an experimental process that breaks with conventional curatorial authorship and fosters a more democratic spectatorship, enabling viewers / audiences to create their own surprise links, chance connections and perceptual analysis. Thanks to all the international filmmakers, audiences and sponsors who made the Usurp Zone5 Film Festival a great success, and continue to support the ongoing screenings.
