GIVE BIRTH TO ME TOMORROW, this year's Artists’ Moving Image Festival, has been co-programmed by curators, artists and writers Tako Taal and Adam Benmakhlouf. It begins this month with a series of screenings available to watch online from 21–24 January 2021, via LUX Scotland’s website, delivered in partnership with Tramway. The festival will be followed by a series of screenings and events scheduled to follow the lunar calendar across the rest of 2021.

Works by Isabel Barfod, De’Anne Crooks, Sharon Hayes, Kyuri Jeon, Sherisse Mohammed and Camille Turner will be available to watch on the LUX Scotland website across the January festival dates.

The programme lies in between the folds of artists’ moving image, performance documentation, protest documentary and animation, considering their strategies for interruption, to undo the formal and psychological trappings of a neo-colonial, white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal cinema system.
