Dear Everyone,

After much intensive deliberation, we have decided we can no longer proceed with Light Field 2020 as planned. As a small collective that’s materially limited, this was a devastating decision to make.

Every year we work extremely hard to create a space for people to gather and encounter some truly weird and beautiful shit together - a collective ephemerality that can feel important in end times. We have come to terms with the fact that this is not possible without compromising everyone’s health and safety. This is heartbreaking given that the festival requires the orchestration of over 50 films and individuals from around the world in a configuration that will be impossible to replicate.

We want to acknowledge that there is no Light Field without our filmmakers, projectionists, and The Lab. As such, we will ensure that all artists and our technical team will still be compensated.

Although we hope to make efforts to postpone the festival, this might not be possible due to logistical and financial limitations.

We regret the inconvenience this has caused anyone.

With love,

Emily, Samuel, Syd, Pat, Trisha, tooth & Zachary
