attic presents: Chinese Short Film Program #1
Someday, That Space in Time
“Someday, That Space in Time” is the 1st edition in attic’s Chinese Short Film Program, bringing together ten short films by emerging Chinese filmmakers that explore how we move through space and time when neither feels fixed.
These are works shaped by transitions — between past and present, physical and digital, memory and forgetting. They reflect on how memory is formed not through certainty but through drift, how space becomes meaningful only in passing, and how the self is shaped by what cannot be held in place.
We invite you to this program not just to watch, but to feel in what shifts, what echoes, and what remains long after it has gone.
- most of the films will have their NL premiere at this event
- Q&A sessions with the filmmakers will follow both parts of the screening
- all films are subtitled in English

About attic:
attic is a film and cultural initiative based in Amsterdam, dedicated to creating a welcoming space for independent cinema and shared cultural experiences. Through curated screenings, conversations, and cross-cultural gatherings, attic invites audiences to engage with moving images that transcend language and geography. We imagine cinema not just as a place to watch, but as a space for connection — for recognition, for reflection, and for building new forms of community.
