Real Time 25 Years on screen

An interactive retrospective exhibition bringing together video from each Real Time year.

The films being screened here represent just some of the films Real Time have created over the years.  We work with many people and groups from Reading and without them these films would not be possible. These are truly local films made by and for local people.
