Jean Desmet’s Dream Factory – last chance to see

▶︎ Press play … because the exhibition ‘Jean Desmet’s Dream Factory: The Adventurous Years of Film (1907-1916)’ ends this Sunday guys. Hear from EYE’s curator and programmer about why the collection from Jean Desmet will blow your mind; the creativity of early film practitioners, the eclectic nature of films shown in early cinemas, and more.
