News and Events

Hideouts from Time brings you the MicroCinema, an alternative screening space on campus. The MicroCinema is an intimately sized venue seeking to redefine the way audiences encounter work, interact with each other and gain exposure to new cinematic forms. It is a make-shift structure that strips the cinematic experience to the bare essentials of a set time and space, projection equipment and an audience. By creating a collective experience it looks to confront our age of personal screens and online streaming.

Hideouts from Time are excited to bring you three evenings of fiction film, documentary soundscapes and shorts in the Humanities Studio (Humanities Building):

• Tuesday 12 March, 7.30pm - Strata of Perception
• Thursday 14 March, 6.00pm - HERZOG!!
• Friday 15 March, 7.30pm - Nomadic series

Tickets are FREE, but as there is a limited capacity for each night please email A dot Pearce at warwick dot ac dot uk to reserve a space.
