Folkestone-based creative studio SD Projects opens its doors for a Film Night on Friday 6th February. Part of the three-day Zine Mela at The Old Post Office – a celebration of South Asia and its diaspora through zines, comics, small press, underground books, photography, illustration, prints, posters, and graphics – a series of short films will be screened including Screening Kindness vs Home Office by artist Hamja Ahsan, creator of Zine Mela, and Three Colours Green by Shahed Saleem and James Waiman.

Originating from punk and DIY cultures, zine-making is the create-it-yourself crafting of small, self-published booklets or magazines – known as zines – using simple tools like paper, scissors, glue, and printers for distribution, and often bringing together the art of photography, illustration and graphics.
