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. If you can, please consider making a donation. All profits will got towards future events and paying our artists.

We want our events to be open and welcoming to all, so please be considerate and mindful of those around you. Sadly access is non step free, but we will always do our best to make sure our events are as accessible as possible.

Also coming up soon: We are running another animation and printmaking workshop on 25th January at The Glad Cafe. The last one was really great! We, and those who took part, had a wonderful time experimenting with and animating monoprinted textures and forms, so we wanted to do it again! The next one we will be exploring the work and music by Devo co-founder and composer Mark Mothersbaugh, taking inspiration from his music and soundscapes to create animations set to his soundtracks.
