The Riandos Present Flim du Jour - Day 1

Yesterday day one of this round of Film du Jour took place at the Mission Gallery, Swansea. This was our piece for the Gathered Again exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Swansea Foundation Art and Design course. A selection of graduates from the last 50 years submitted work accumulating in a not to be missed show (closes 2nd August 2015).

Along with a group of volunteers from the community we worked together to produce a film based on the headlines of that days newspapers. This was then premiered in a cinema intervention at the opening night of the exhibition. 

We are looking for volunteers to help with the next couple of dates. If you are interested and available on the 4th or/and 25th July email us on theriandos@gmail.com

Thanks to Felipe for making the light box!!

The most written about story that day was Chris Evans and the search for a co-host for the new "Top Gear"

Valentines Day is a fake excuse for capitalism but love is real and is everywhere

On Friday the 13th February we attended "the feast of the unloved" an event by and including performance from Joan Jones (The Glynn Vivian Art Gallery’s artist in residence and a long term sister).

http://www.swansea.gov.uk/article/9091/Glynn-Vivian-Artist-in-Residence-Joan-Jones

Joan was resplendent, beautiful and filthy, some of the other performances were really angry and angsty but ultimately we are filled with inertia about peoples need for romantic love or cards when real love is all around us.

This event encouraged people to connect in a real way, to share an experience that was anti valentines!
