In 2012, I organized Space Trash, an open-mic film night held in Cosmo’s warehouse in Marrickville, Sydney, with the help of friends. This event provided a platform for anyone to create and screen short films for a welcoming audience, free from the pressure of presenting a polished final product. The films showcased at Space Trash were raw, experimental, and gutsy, attracting many film students who shared video sketches and explored new ideas. After moving to Iceland, I found myself missing the vibrant community of Space Trash. In 2013, I launched the Kex Film Society, where I organised screenings of locally made films and facilitated Q&A sessions with filmmakers. That same year, we also hosted the Nordic Creative Commons Film Festival. While I took on all organisational details and responsibilities for these events, including scheduling, curating, designing posters, flyers, and promotional videos, I was fortunate to have friends who generously offered their support and assistance along the way.
