Alongside creative workshops, visitors can explore the Play Back Forward exhibition – an imaginative journey through Brighton & Hove’s rich film heritage. Featuring archival footage, artworks by young people, and new installations by artists Chahine Fellahi and Annis Joslin, the exhibition invites audiences to engage with early film technologies through contemporary lenses. Through hands-on activities and reflective responses, participants are encouraged to interact with the exhibition’s playful approach to archive, light, and motion – reinterpreting the past while experimenting with the possibilities of filmmaking today.
Days of Wonder is a three-year project exploring the heritage of film and media in Brighton & Hove. Curated and produced by Corridor and videoclub in partnership with Brighton & Hove Museums and Screen Archive South East.
