windows. Welcome to the second shifting sands zine, created by the sea/film team. It’s our eight film culture project.
"Now more than ever, windows have become a key part of our lives. Although at first they may seem like a barrier to the outside world, they can also offer a sense of safety; a space for day-dreaming, experiencing the outdoors, and a way we can safely connect with those who are self-isolating or vulnerable.
In cinema windows function in many forms; a device through which an opportunity is suggested, implying a sense of captivity, a threat, a simple framing aid, or as a place for observation.
For this zine we asked people here in Scarborough to look outwards from their windows and treat them like the screens of cinemas; to capture everyday frames, views and ideas. Exploring new meanings and examining the hidden histories of windows."
Across 68 pages the zine features original creative contributions from nineteen people. We feature work from a mix of filmmakers, artists, historians and people who love Scarborough. It features twenty pages of photography, five poems, three new artworks, three creative provocations, and nine essays.
