  • William Raban - 72-82

    The first ten years of the groundbreaking London arts organisation ACME are explored through rarely seen archival film and new interviews.

    ‘Raban's bold new film continues his ongoing examination of London's stratified social geography by exploring a fertile, creative scene in which he played a significant part. Solely using archival visual materials, he revisits the first ten years of art organisation ACME, highlighting its work in housing artists in the East End and the extraordinary work that was produced. The powerful archival footage incorporates Stephen Cripps' pyrotechnic displays, an abrasive Anne Bean music performance and Stuart Brisley's politically charged action 'Ten Days'. Interviewees include: Cosey Fanni Tutti, Jock McFadyen and David Critchley. Raban reflects on the nature of 'evidence' while a very particular vision of creative activity emerges - one based on devoted experimentation, location specificity and process.’ (William Fowler, London Film Festival)

    Wie haben Sie das gemacht? Filme von Frauen aus fünf Jahrzehnten II: Neue Formen

  • Alfred Kaiser - Decomposing Nazi Phraseology

    In the second half of the 1970s Alfred Kaiser was entirely unknown to the film world when he went public with two films, namely A Third Reich (1975) and A Third Reich from Its Refuse (1977). Both compilation films bridge the threshold between avant-garde and documentary cinema and were enthusiastically received by audiences and film critics alike upon their release. To this day, these two closely related films occupy a place of particular significance in the history of Austrian cinema, not least due to their subject matter and compositional virtuosity.

  • Christine Lucy Latimer - Fragile Systems

    The films and videos of Christine Lucy Latimer defy their containers: they reveal the fragile systems underlying media, press the boundaries of image-making machines, and embrace the faults and frailties of vision. Almost all of Latimer’s work is silent, but nothing is truly silent: Latimer’s images recall the hums, tweets and mechanical moans of the technology with which she made them. Her work began long after most of the formats she employs had become obsolete.
