Underneath the Floorboards (7)

Festival start: 28 April 2021      Festival end: 12 May 2021

For our next event hopefully everything will have gone back to 'normal,' and we can go back to having a live event. But we are prepared for another online event, like last time which got over ten thousands viewers. If everything is back to 'normal 'we will also do a live event in Hackney, London.

Underneath the Floorboards is a visual arts, experimental film night held in London's buzzing artistic area of Hackney.

Our showcase is open to artists and filmmakers from all around the world whose work has an experimental, non-linear narrative form. We want to see variety, whether it be experimental film, video art, visual art, digital art, experimental documentary or animation.

No bias, no prejudice, we don't care if you didn't study in the most prestigious art schools. We want to see unique work of an artistic nature, which creates its own language.

Get your work showcased at Underneath the Floorboards and benefit from the company of other artists and filmmakers in the heart of London's creative hub.

If the next event is once again online, we will make sure to promote it to the corresponding community of filmmakers and visual artist, so we get the maximum of views possible.

Your work will be promoted through our network to engage with the largest possible audience to create an innovative platform where artists and audiences can come together.
