AN OPEN PROJECTION NIGHT / This Is Not A Screening!

A pop-up open projection night for filmmakers to share work in progress, get feedback and network. How it works We show 3 to 5 work in progress projects with the filmmakers presentations. Each artist has 20 to 25 minutes in total. The first 15 minutes is for them to show their work and the rest is for feedback sessions. After each viewing, the room and the floor are open for an open conversation. You don’t have to be a filmmaker to join. Come along, watch, and be part of the discussion. This Is Not A Screening! is a space for things becoming, not finished works: and a chance to connect through art and conversation. After the screenings, the space stays open to hang out and chat. For artists: a chance to share work and see how it resonates. For audiences: a chance to engage with the creative process and connect with like-minded people. This page is for audience tickets only.

As filmmakers, we spend countless hours in the edit, often unsure whether things are actually working. After staring at the timeline for too long, you lose objectivity: pacing feels slippery, scenes blur, and instinct gets fuzzy. You email friends for a watch and some notes, but sometimes you want eyes beyond your immediate circle. Building that wider community isn’t easy. Especially in a city as big as London. Our open projection night grew out of that need. We wanted a welcoming room where filmmakers can share rough cuts, test ideas, and get honest, constructive feedback. A place to meet new collaborators, swap skills, and spark momentum. It’s about creating a community. About us This Is Not A Screening! was founded by Emre and is co-hosted with Shaun. Y.
