Otherfield

Otherfield Documentary film festival

Held over a long summer weekend, Otherfield (formerly the Quadrangle Film Festival) presents films and runs workshops that come under the umbrella of ‘creative non-fiction films’. We aim to challenge the predominant and traditional voice by offering a truly thought-provoking programme focusing on the process and the making of, for filmmakers and film lovers. Our commitment is to create an inspirin

g environment for old and new; where hierarchies are abandoned, open and honest dialogue is encouraged and risk-taking and arguments are allowed to flourish.

It was 5 years ago this week that community resistance on Kenmure Street, Glasgow resulted in the release of the two men that a Home Office immigration enforcement team had arrived to detain.

Felipe Bustos Sierra ’s EVERYBODY TO KENMURE STREET tells the story of that day with contributions from more than 30 people. Working with archive and reconstructed footage this is a hopeful film about the power of community and our collective agency to make change. It’s great to be for this community screening.

We are pleased to welcome activist and lawyer Aamer Anwar who features in the film to take part in an online Q&A afterwards.

‘The Land that Binds Us’ by Daniella Baldock ( ) is a WIP screened as part of Rough Cut screening at Otherfield.

In the Scottish Highlands, a seasoned crofter teaches a young apprentice the rhythms of working sheep, cattle, and land. The Land That Binds Us quietly reflects on identity, romanticism, and how rural communities are being reshaped.

Please join the screening in a safe space and share your constructive feedback with the filmmaker.

Otherfield is a festival dedicated to non fiction films and processes away from commercial pressure.

As part of our Rough Cut screening we invite you to join a safe space for constructive feedback, ideas and susggestions.

Nirmala Lan Hessellund ( ) will share her WIP “The Orchid Hunt” (WT) exploring themes of belonging, memory and preservation of the nearly invisible.

Some people speak of landscape as the earliest expression forming a culture. Here preserving plants becomes about preserving culture. In the forests of Taiwan, a man hunts for endangered orchids as a woman searches for belonging in the Taiwanese landscape. But what does it mean to be preserving nature in the face of ecological destruction? And what does it mean to find belonging on disputed land?

💡 Workshop: The Movement of Attention: A Dyadic Filming Practice

With Dominique Rivoal ( )

This workshop invites participants to slow down and engage in the acts of filming and being filmed from a place of embodied presence. 

Through dyadic exchange, we explore how attention moves between self, other, and context, and how this shapes the experience of filming.

The concept of dyadic exchange relates to non fiction - in terms of relationships, power dynamics, and ethics between filmmaker and subject.

Working in pairs, participants alternate between the roles of filmmaker (the one who frames) and subject (the one who is seen). Using their own phones or cameras, participants follow a guided score that explores shifting attention. Recording is optional—the primary aim is presence.

Otherfield is a film festival that reimagines the possibilities of non-fiction

A Bunch of Questions With No Answers is a video installation that pushes past the borders of film, journalism and historical record made by Alex Reynolds and Robert M. Ochshorn

This mammoth project, over 23 hrs long, is a critical look at the dynamics of information dissemination and the challenges of seeking truth in the face of political inertia

A Bunch of Questions with No Answers is a record of the questions posed by journalists to the US State Department during press briefings between Oct 3, 2023 and the end of the Biden administration about the ongoing genocide in Palestine. As the endless demands for clarification and accountability were repeatedly met with convoluted evasions, the artists chose to edit them out.

The audience is invited to participate in a collective viewing of this huge work and record responses to the fragments each one watches - to make meaning from this narrative. 

These will be fed into a discussion where the filmmakers are in conversation with media researcher journalists  and .a96 

Together, we’ll explore what it means to ask questions that are never answered, what the nature of this relationship becomes and what kind of public record is created in the act of asking.
