About SplicD  Cinema

SplicD Cinema (pronounced spliced) programs films and events that reveal the cracks of our daily lives. Dedicated to the exploration of the liminal, SplicD’s curation ranges from documentaries that illuminate perspectives we don’t often see, to states of suspended reality that imagine alternate worlds and ways of living. Born out of the 2025 Barbican Young Film Programmers cohort and founded by Mariana Enriquez Denton Bustinza, Marta Cappozzo, and Afra Nuarey, SplicD originated from a shared desire to bring together film buffs and casual cinemagoers alike. Featuring archival gems, personal favourites, and bold new voices, the collective aims to build a community that can talk about ourselves and the world around us through the lens of film.

Our work is grounded in the belief that film can hold complexity, contradiction, and care, and that what we choose to show, and how we show it, matters. For us, curation is not neutral. It is a practice of listening, responsibility, and world-building. We create spaces through screenings, conversations, and events, where films are not simply consumed, but shared, and where audiences are invited to reflect, question, and connect. In doing so, we hope to contribute to a more expansive cinematic landscape.
