On Purpose Films

Alongside Arnolfini’s On Purpose: Design Concepts exhibition, we present a season of films which play on its wider themes: the experience economy, altered identities and the theatre of consumption.

Catch a selection of short films that continue to explore the relationship between commerce, design and experience, inserted into the cinema ad reel during this season. Buy one get one free, in other words.

The Fountainhead (PG)

Sun 19 Oct, 3.30pm
