This summer, Hauser & Wirth Menorca and NOWNESS will present a festival of short films over five evenings in July and August. The program will span art & photography, nature & gardens, design & architecture, and dance & fashion. Each evening’s screening features up to an hour of short films that premiered on global video channel Nowness. The festival will provide a unique opportunity to revisit these diverse films in the context of the art centre and current exhibition, ‘Directionless’, investigating how art making and storytelling can provide new points of navigation and inspiration in a time of uncertainty.
