  • Adam K. Beckett - Complete Works 1970-1979

    Adam K. Beckett was an alchemist of the animated image. His brilliant, ground-breaking, films made in the 1970s still resonate today, seething with psychedelic imagery, abstraction, and playful eroticism, transcending the carnal to the cosmic. His optical virtuoso was a significant force in both animation and visual effects. He won numerous awards for his animations, contributed to the innovative work at the young Robert Abel and Associates, and was head of animation and rotoscoping on the inaugural Star Wars movie (1977).

  • Devotional Cinema

    Devotional Cinema, reprised from filmmaker Nathaniel Dorsky's lecture on religion and cinema at Princeton University, is a rare treasure of penetrating insight into the language of film. In a compelling style, somewhere between a Zen koan and a Victorian love story, Devotional Cinema makes the case for mindful viewing as a transcendent experience. In the process, Dorsky reflects upon the role of filmmaking in faith, prayer, pleasure, and the renewal of the human spirit. For Dorsky, the material nature of film illuminates a path to devotion. Devotional Cinema is a guide for makers and viewers who, like Dorsky, seek the 'elemental glory' of film." Kathleen Tyner (author of Literacy in A Digital World)

  • BOOM! The Exploding Cinema Book

    BOOM! is the secret history of the Exploding Cinema told by its key activists.  And in particular it is the history of the Exploding Collective, a unique experiment in total democracy, open access, collective ownership and voluntary action. For the last 3 decades, this unfunded gang of radical cinema activists have been staging regular monthly open access nights of short D.I.Y. underground film in pubs, clubs and squats across London; turning shabby interiors into temporary convivial utopias that seethe with multiple moving projections.

  • Glitching the 'Machine Artist'

    “a blueprint for critical resistance and aesthetic defiance in the face of digital capitalism and a rising new age”    — Laila Shereen Sakr/ VJ Um Amel

    Fear of the ‘machine artist’ reflects a deep cultural anxiety about industrialization, shaped by unresolved conflicts over automation and its potential to supplant human artists. Automated machinery represents both a technical development and a social paradigm that redefines labor, authorship, and creativity itself.
