Film as Film: Theory and Practice in the Work of Gregory J. Markopoulos

Film as Film: Theory and Practice in the Work of Gregory J. Markopoulos
Symposium & Screenings
Basel, 23 & 24 April 2015

Basel University, eikones Forum and Stadkino Basel will host Film as Film: Theory and Practice in the Work of Gregory J. Markopoulos on 23 & 24 April 2015. This symposium and screening series is the first of its kind to be focused on Markopoulos, and will bring together many of the most knowledgeable individuals interested in his work. This event is open to the public.

The Greek-American filmmaker Gregory J. Markopoulos (1928–1992) was one of the key figures in the development of postwar avant-garde film, and a co-founder of the New American Cinema Group. In his exquisitely stylized and dreamlike early films, and in the stunning works of the sixties and seventies, Markopoulos formulated a maverick aesthetic characterized by incomparable formal rigor, fascinating beauty, and the penetrating representation of interior worlds that emerge from the entwinement of image and sound into an ecstatic filmic language.

Luke Fowler: All Divided Selves

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 24/07/2012 - 15:29
Luke Fowler: All Divided Selves
Friday, July 27th, 19h
Flat Time House
210 Bellenden Road, London SE15 4BW, UK

A lyrical collage of film about R.D. Laing completed in 2011. Using footage from the Flat Time House archive amongst multiple other sources, Luke Fowler's film focuses on one of the key characters in the history of Better Books.

The film concentrates on archival representations of radical psychiatrist RD Laing and his colleagues as they struggled to acknowledge the importance of considering social environment and disturbed interaction in institutions as significant factors in the aetiology of human distress and suffering. RD Laing was associated with the art and poetry gatherings at Better Books and his controversial psychiatric writings and methods considerably influenced the creative practices of the artists involved at Better Books. All Divided Selves reprises the vacillating responses to these radical views and the less forgiving responses to Laing's latter career shift; from eminent psychiatrist to enterprising celebrity. A dense, engaging and lyrical collage- Fowler weaves archival material with his own filmic observations including footage from a SIGMA gathering with John Latham and others at Brazier's Park in 1964.
