MEDIA MIX
To say that the ICA knows a thing of two about a good audio/visual mash up would be a fair assessment for an institute which has presented such a plethora of contemporary and progressive arts culture since 1947. This year The Big Chill and ICA join forces to present a selection of ICA films and a range of thrilling performances - representing both the ICA's recent/future adventures and its sense of unadulterated fun.

CINEMATIC THURSDAY
(AND FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY)
A special treat for early birds at this year's festival as the Moonlit Picture House, Media Mix tent and Castle Stage power up their screens to show films from the quality-packed festival film programme on Thursday evening.
The Moonlit Picture House takes cinema to the great outdoors while the Media Mix tent offers a weatherproof (and daytime) filmic experience.
From Thursday evening, both present a weekend long quality-packed programme of interesting, unusual and beautiful films curated by The Big Chill in association with the ICA and the BFI.
In addition, The Castle Stage warms up for the weekend with family films on Thursday evening too.
The festival film programme includes:
In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2007)
Flight of the Red Balloon (2007) a film by Hou Hsiao Hsien inspired by Lamorisse's 1950s childhood classic The Red Balloon - which also forms part of the programme.
