KONTEKST Film Festival 2026: ENTANGLEMENTS

KONTEKST‘s third film festival comes to Conway Hall this summer, presenting work by emerging practitioners across ethnographic film, experimental moving image, installation, and live performance.

Organised by KONTEKST Collective, the festival brings together artists, filmmakers, and researchers working at the intersection of creative practice and social inquiry. ENTANGLEMENTS explores multispecies encounters and relationships: the messy, intimate, political, and often overlooked connections between humans and the more-than-human world. From microbial ecologies to interspecies care – from environmental collapse to queer kinship with plants and animals – the programme asks how we live alongside and are shaped by other forms of life.

How can film and art make these relationships visible, felt, and ethically navigable in a time of ecological crisis? This festival is for anyone curious about how film can grapple with ecological responsibility and multispecies futures: artists, researchers, activists, or anyone interested in work that helps you think and feel differently about the world.
