Game Night & screening

PROGRAM
Curated by Oona Zyman, OFF SCRIPT stands as an activation of the current exhibition En Flujo (In Flux), curated by Anne-Laure Lemaitre. Structured as a double feature: THIRD BORN will host its first game night, activating the space through movement and interaction, followed by a video art screening within the galleries, THE ROOF program, featuring works by Romeo Gómez López, Eglė Rakauskaitė, and others.
OFF SCRIPT is a short film program that focuses on films and videos that inhabit the space between rules and unruliness. Playful, ironic, and political, these works ask what it means to go off script: to interrupt norms, deviate from expected behavior, and open up moments of unpredictability, tension, and potential. Across the program, gestures of estrangement, humour, eeriness, and resistance reveal how moving images can unsettle familiar codes and suggest other ways of relating in the world.
