Rêl Institiwt-Real Institute
Staging regular alternative film nights and one-off events involving a variety of art forms.
Founded in Wales in 2000, and in direct response to the paucity of independent cinema in the region, Rêl Institiwt stages regular alternative film nights and one-off events involving a variety of art forms. Deliberately without permanent residence, Rêl Institiwt's unofficial philosophy is this: “The popular notion that the best of contemporary art can only successfully occur in areas of high population density and that rural areas should be left with a blend of un-ambitious mediocrity is twaddle and dangerous twaddle at that.” Previous projects include Really Restrictive Shorts, Soporific and Un-Wanted Djs.
