S1 / salon is an annual series of artist film and video programmes screened in the project space at S1 Artspace, Sheffield. This year over twenty films will be shown in three screenings during January and February. The salons will feature work from the UK, USA, Finland, Denmark and Germany combining video formats with 16mm film projection.
S1 / salon is curated around material selected from an international open call with the intention of creating a platform for presenting artist film and video without prescribed themes or categories. Each salon features films selected by an artist.
