Daydream Nation #5

Join us at The Rum Shack, Glasgow, on Monday 20th January for our first screening of the new year! Daydream Nation #5 will feature a screening in two parts with a selection of experimental animated films from local and international artists, with a live performance from the amazing Jill Lorean, supported with visuals by Jamie Temple. Tunes across the evening supplied by our very own Karolina Glusiec :)

We are super excited to have Jill Lorean performing songs from her wonderful new album Peace Cult (released in November 2024 on Monohands Records.) This one is a must see! And Jill will be accompanied by live visuals, made from textural mono prints by Jamie Temple.

Daydream Nation is a celebration of short DIY filmmaking, which in many ways carries the qualities and ethos of grunge. If this kind of filmmaking was a music genre then we would call it “visual grunge” !

The line up of films is made up of people that we come to know and love, and will include new and old works from artists including:

Edwin Rostron, Osbert Parker, Wiesia Ruta, Ollie Magee, Weronika Marianna, Zhen Li, Dagna Kidon, Sophie Aicken, Ruby O’Hare, EXYL, Chaerin Im, + more TBA!

Tickets are £5, but no one will be turned away from lack of funds. Please consider making a donation. All profits will got towards future events and paying our performers
