Futuresound have announced a partnership with Sheffield based WARP films for Constellations. WARP will be curating a special programme of moving image work to be shown in the freshly christened 'pop up' cinema. The aim is to screen a selection of rarities alongside favourites from their vast archive.

The Exhibition Hall will be providing a new home for the screen printing and the poster exhibition. The hall will also host a range of new artworks, installation, and film, some of which are being commissioned especially for the event. The art will be exhibited on the day and will also be available to purchase as part of a special, limited edition newspaper. Constellations' resident art director xiiixiii is currently putting together a roster of artists including UNIT, Yukiko, Mike Lemanski, Accept & Proceed, and Tom Sewell.
