Festival of New Cinema and Digital Culture

Abandon Normal Devices (AND) is an energetic festival, taking place across the Northwest of England.


 

A catalyst for production and experimentation, AND is a call to arms inviting anarchists of the imagination to propose striking perspectives on technological, physical and societal normality. 


We welcome audiences to experience the best in new cinema and media art in a celebration that spills from screens and galleries into the streets and imaginations of the North West.

Creating a space where artists, can offer striking new perspectives, and visitors can enjoy and interact with ideas, in a festival that questions the normal and champions a different approach! 

“The revolution will be televised, digitised, analysed and theorised if this festival for "anarchists of the imagination" is anything to go by.”
