The Open Road
With David Blandy, Amaal Said, and Sam Williams
Screenings and Q&A with the artists

Join us at FormaHQ for The Open Road, a new series of artists’ moving image works brought together for the very first time for a special screening event at FormaHQ. Commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella, The Amelia Scott, Cement Fields, FLAMIN, Forma, and Three Rivers, The Open Road reimagines the timeless tale of a journey taken through three new moving image works by renowned artists David Blandy, Amaal Said, and Sam Williams.

Loosely inspired by The Canterbury Tales, each film charts a distinct path, drawing on various storytelling traditions to explore ideas of migration and belonging, untold histories, and the deep connections between humans and the more-than-human world.
