Come and look behind the scenes of Manchester’s publicly owned sculpture collection. Part exhibition, part research space, Out of the Crate delves into the un-tapped history of the collection. This is an opportunity to investigate sculpture through access to stored collections and archival material. Find out what’s in store and how we look after it, help unlock hidden stories about works we know very little about and explore how artworks might encourage conversation. We have about 400 sculptures from antiquity to the present day and, until recently, less than 5% were on display. As well as modern and contemporary works, there are 19th-century sculptures and works from earlier periods that have rarely been seen this century and are under-researched. On display are a large range of materials including marble, bronze, wood, glass, ceramic and paper, a variety of sizes and shapes and different techniques of making. From bronze medals decorated with reliefs to large-scale free-standing 3D works, you can now see around 30% of the sculpture collection here. In terms of representation, we should also consider who has and hasn’t been included in the collection.

With four zones to explore, the exhibition is home over 100 football annuals, featuring iconic publishers such as Charlie Buchan, Match, Shoot and Match of the Day, as well as player and club-specific editions. Test your footy knowledge with brainteasers and quizzes, have a go at our annuals-inspired games, and become the cover star in our new interactive!

We have launched the Indie Film Showcase to do what we love best -- bringing incredible short genre films from hugely talented filmmakers, to the wonderful UK horror community. And in June we hosted a brand-new line up of short films in London, showcasing a superb range of projects from all over the globe. But with so much passion and hard work having gone into each and every film on the line up, we want as many folk as possible to see them. Which is why we're delighted to be able to take them out on the road -- and our next stop will be the glorious city of Manchester! What's more, 20% of all profit made on ticket sales will go straight into our Creators Fund -- so by coming along, you're actively helping creators fund their next projects! So join us at the 53Two theatre on Watson Street for a night of fun, meeting new friends, networking, and of course -- over 2 solid hours of incredible short horror films. Doors open at 6:30pm, with films starting at 6:45pm. There will also be a short break between blocks.

I See You’re Alone UK, Dir: Danielle Spontak A music producer receives a creepy song from her boss and listens to it alone in her home. The more she listens to it, the scarier it gets. Eyeballs start to materialize around her and before she realizes what’s going on – it’s too late. The music producer dies and her eyes have been taken... Make Me A Pizza USA, Dir: Talia Shea Levin A very hungry woman tells a pizza delivery guy she can’t pay for the pizza she ordered. But can the sex she offers instead of currency possibly equate to the true value of a pizza? Is there anything that can be worthy of pizza, aside from what the market has decided? Moonlight Haunts UK, Dir: Kayal Karuppiah Hallow sleeps, but not alone. Sometimes it’s better to ignore sounds in the night. Nettle Day UK, Dir: Jack Nicholls An idealistic young teacher’s faith in kindness is ripped apart as she struggles to save a destructive child from being kicked out of school.
