Manifesto

The Unconfined Cinema was formed in 2020 as an effort to explore what cinema is and what else it could be. It is a platform that seeks to present cinema in an unconventional fashion: designing unusual spaces to showcase films, facilitating conversations about the craft, staging performances that bring art to life, and producing work that challenges norms.
