Paisley Docs: Rebels and Innovators

Paisley Docs: Rebels and Innovators is Refractive’s new film exhibition programme for autumn/winter 2025-2026. 

We have curated a series of documentaries which we hope will encourage you to consider new perspectives, push boundaries, and inspire you to rebellion and innovation. The first part of our programme will take place in September and October, but be sure to check back for our November to January films which will be announced later in the year.
