In 2025, Refle-x-périmental continues to pay tribute to the work of experimental film cooperatives that emerged from the 1960s onwards, embracing independence, rebellion, and the (re)invention of both avant-garde cinema and thought. After celebrating the co-ops founded in New York, Hamburg, and Amsterdam, as well as the 50th anniversary of the Paris Films Coop, the winter season will open with a focus on the West Coast of the United States.

Collective Filmmaking: a Chorus of Resistance

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 03/02/2025 - 09:35

In the two decades of the 1960s and 1970s, a wave of filmmakers united into film clubs, and film collectives, a shift from an individual, hierarchical model of production to one based on fluidity and embracing the DIY and ‘amateur’ spirit of such collaborations. Nevertheless, the screening and post-screening talk aim to emphasise the labour of female filmmakers within such collectives, who are often written out of the narratives of their radical efforts.

Moments from a Sensual Cinema: A Tribute to Malcolm Le Grice

By Marcos Ortega on Fri, 31/01/2025 - 07:45

Last year, BIMI ran a series of screenings inspired by the journal Afterimage, showing some of the avant-garde work it had celebrated. One English filmmaker who could well have been included sadly left us in December. Malcolm Le Grice was a towering figure in independent and avant-garde film, not only in Britain but known around the world as a driving force in the arts lab movement, and a mainstay of the London Filmmakers Co-Op during its most influential period.
