L’École du soir Cinéma #3 is an event taking place in Dundee at the Cooper Gallery. This event, inspired by Ousmane Sembène’s concept of cinema as a "night school" or l’école du soir, aims to provide a platform for collective study. Over four evenings, the gallery will be transformed into a temporary cinema, showcasing moving image works by The Otolith Group. The highlight of the event is the screening of In the Year of the Quiet Sun, a 33-minute and 57-second HD video.

The event is free to attend, but donations to medical Aid for Palestinians are encouraged. In addition to the film screening, there will be audio readings from The Otolith Group and responses from invited artists and writers in Scotland.
