‘The Glass Delusion’ is an artists’ film programme organised in association with the National Glass Centre, to coincide with the exhibition of the same name (until the 3rd of October).

‘The Glass Delusion’ was the name given in the late Middle Ages and Baroque times to a form of depression. The syndrome evokes a psychological separation between reality and imagination. Sufferers were obsessive, compulsive, driven by irrational fears and envisioned themselves to be made of glass, hence delicate and vulnerable to scrutiny.

The events at the Star and Shadow feature artists who use film to investigate altered mental states. All three nights are absorbing experimental excursions into the potential of film for psychological exploration.
