'Rupture Cinema' places itself within the rich history of expanded cinematic practices – from nickelodeons to itinerant screenings – which use cinema and film to facilitate discourse and question urban spatial arrangements. Specifically within this context 'Rupture' looks at cinema in relation to the public sphere, what role it plays within a community and how cinema and collective viewing can constitute an active praxis that can play a role in reclaiming spaces within the city more generally.

By staging guerrilla screenings of radical films in vacant or neglected spaces, 'Rupture Cinema' uses the urban environment to bring people together and activate spaces and minds.
