Biscuit Tin, Embassy Gallery's moving image festival, returns to the artist-run gallery's new space on Ferry Road, running over the weekend with a premiere of different experimental films on the evening of Saturday 13 December, with the films played on a loop through the Sunday afternoon.

It's a really lovely chance to see artworks you won't be able to see elsewhere. In line with the festival, Embassy have also been running a series of moving image workshops – the final one is on 11 December, looking at creative close captioning. Book your tickets to the festival here.
