UCL Film Soc: Festival of the Moving Image [1 Day Pass]

UCL Film Soc presents

Festival of the Moving Image [1 Day Pass]

www.fomiucl.com

UCL's Film Society is excited to announce the 16th addition of the Festival of the Moving Image (FOMI), returning to the Bloomsbury Theatre.

This is an award-winning student film festival, promoting emerging student filmmakers and championing creativity and innovation.

Our theme this year is Entangled Encounters - between people, the environment, technology, and art. Inspired by New Materialist philosophy, we hope to use this theme to continue making FOMI a space to forge new connections and promote a love of independent film across the student body and wider London public.
