We're excited to be screening The House with the Waiting Windows by Louis Price.

Digital artwork inspired by classic thriller iconography, House With the Waiting Windows is an experimental film work designed to be viewed in gallery, cinema spaces and on small digital devices (Tablets/Smartphones) in a public context (EG- Libraries).

Audiences will view the work on these devices, and will be encouraged to perceive and explore their surroundings, in new ways.

The project is created by a combination of professional creatives and local community members, who have been involved in many aspects of the shooting, and development of the web based content.
3 different versions of the film will be made, each personalised to the library they will be displayed in, and including imagery from the libraries themselves.
