Every building holds stories written through countless everyday encounters. Over time, these fleeting moments become part of the building itself. This hidden history is found in the marks left behind. Together, these accumulated imprints tell an evolving story of the people who have inhabited this place, now transformed into a living artwork.

Atmosphere is our most popular research and event programme. First premiered at the 2010 Edinburgh International Film Festival, it re-imagines the concept of Atmospheric movie theaters from the 1920s and 30s.

Each expanded screening uses a team of guest artists and creatives to work with technology old and new, multi-sensory interactives and live elements too. Expect some smoke and mirrors, before the bells and whistles.
