PURESCREEN 2 – FREE

PureScreen is an event at Castlefield Gallery offering the opportunity to view a regular programme of contemporary artists’ screen based work. After the huge success of PS1, PureScreen launches its second bi-monthly showcase of artists’ film and video shorts, animation and music promos on Thursday 15th May.
