Flex Obscura Series & Festival celebrates the breadth of creative modes of visual expression and film. We love weird and things that live in the in-between spaces. Flex Obscura Series and Festival is structured to allow for expansive play across a season of visual, sonic and film exploration. We curate 4 events that offer audiences an unique experience, each with a particular focus in collaboration with Elastic Arts’ existing programming. Our passion is to celebrate new voices and new vocabulary in visual and sonic forms that are expansive and experimental with a focus on fostering inclusivity and promoting emerging talent. Flex Obscura Series and Festival embraces a wide range of genres, styles, and perspectives. It acts as a catalyst for change, inspiring a new generation of filmmakers to challenge conventional norms and push the boundaries of storytelling. From each series emerges juried and audience choice winners who are invited to a culminating festival event showcase and highlighting the best of the series.
