PAPAY GYRO NIGHTS ART FESTIVAL will be traveling from ORKNEY to HONG KONG to present Video Art, Experimental Film, Storytelling, Architecture, Experimental Music programmes together with the leading independent artist-run projects from Iceland, Finland and Sweden

The idea of PAPAY GYRO NIGHTS has originated from the place - a small remote island in the Northern Sea - Papa Westray (Papay), and its ancient traditions and folktales we are exploring through video art and experimental film. The island studies are giving ideas for the project
