What?
Presentation of the film MEMBRANE the result of a year long collaboration begun in 2020 between Scottish-Finnish visual artist Anneli Holmstrom, Finnish film maker and sound artist Joakim Finholm and Scottish-Algerian poet Janette Ayachi.

Through the film, the artists have been considering in their respective medias the concept of the semi permeable membrane as a narrative spring board to reflect on issues of the COVID pandemic, social distancing, isolation, transitional spaces, biological worlds and sublimes solitudes. The film is the final fruits of this dialogue; with film script, props and directing by Anneli Holmström, audio and poetry work read and written by Janette Ayachi and sound filming and editing by Joakim Finholm.

This presentation at Galleria Artista will be the first screening of the final film in Ostrobothnia and presented within an especially designed environment created by Anneli Holmström and Joakim Finholm for this screening.
