Glass, Meet the Future Film Festival

As part of the Museum of Arts and Design’s (2 Columbus Circle) commitment to showcasing innovative artists working with glass, the Museum is an international partner of an upcoming cross-continental collaboration, the Glass, Meet the Future Film Festival, organized by North Lands Creative, Scotland and also supported by Japan’s Toyama Glass Museum.

This festival will bring a selection of new films exploring the human relationship with glass and film, presenting work from 42 female-identified and non-binary filmmakers representing more than 20 countries. The festival will stream virtually for FREE from Saturday, March 20 through Monday, April 5, with film screenings and commissioned works premiering on a daily basis. Using glass as the predominant feature, these artists tell stories of how art is made, how artists survive, how they think and work, and what makes creativity our most important skill.  

As partners of the festival, the Museum of Arts and Design will present associated programming during the festival and throughout the year.
