Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival is an international festival of experimental film and artists’ moving image. Our 2014 theme is ‘DreamLand’, focussing on film explorations of the natural world as a place of dreams, the dream of nature, and the natural world
correspondent with the subconscious world. Our theme also relates to the utopian dreams of homeland – in Scotland’s Year of Homecoming, and the Scottish Independence Referendum.

Between the Web and the Loom was a collaboration between Joan Baxter (Tapestry Artist) John McGeoch (Moving Image Artist) Claire Pençak (Choreographer ) Shamita Ray (Dancer) and James Wyness (Composer). It is part of a two part project entitled Loom commissoned by Alchemy in 2012

We accept submissions of short films, feature films, installations and expanded cinema events (both digital and 16mm), from anywhere in the world. We usually prefer work of a more experimental nature, though narrative films that show uniqueness in form and structure, or strong relevance to our themes, are most welcome. Please bear in mind the
overall festival theme which aims to explore mankind’s relationship to the natural world. We’re also interested in the ‘alchemy’ of film as well. We do watch everything, so please only submit your film if you think it fits.
