Analogue Ensemble

Since 2022 I've hosted open call artist/filmmaker screenings in my studio at The Argyle Centre, Ramsgate. Below are the film programmes from each of these so far.   Images of each event are available on analogueensemble  instagram account. There is no funding for these events, it is organised on a very low cost to myself DIY basis.  The idea was to create a community of experimental artists/filmmakers in Thanet who come along show their work and engage in an informal Q&A with a supportive audience. There's a small group of friends (3) who talk about next programme ideas,  act as a sounding board and put out chairs, black out the windows, manage the door and set up drinks.   Kristian provides some excellent call-out graphics and it's us that generally meet in the pub to discuss to talk about the next programme. 29 May 2022 26 February 2023 14 May 2023 19 November 2023 7 April 2024 26 October 2025  at The Ramsgate Arts Club These nights typicall...
