This presentation of two short films by William Kentridge, made some twenty years apart, offers a window into the celebrated South African artist’s creative process. Journey to the Moon (2003) is a playful response to Georges Méliès’ 1902 film Le Voyage dans la Lune, following Kentridge—and his coffee cup—from the studio into a surreal, hand-drawn world. His newest film, Fugitive Words (2024), receiving its UK premiere at CAST in Helston, Cornwall, unfolds entirely within the pages of one of his notebooks, where drawing and erasure produce fleeting words and shifting images that form a poetic landscape of history and memory. On view from 9 July to 30 August. Opening hours: Wednesday to Friday, 10am–4pm; Saturday, 10am–8pm. Free admission, all welcome.
