Two newly digitised tapes from the LCVA act as the creative catalyst for this programme that explores different modes of feminist self-representation at the Barbican Cinema.

The programme begins with two works from the London Community Video Archive (LCVA): Conversation’s Over: Liz & Pauline (c 1980) by the Basement Project and Terry Flaxton’s Circumstantial Evidence (1983) which are placed in dialogue with moving-image works by Utako Koguchi, Chick Strand, CAMP and Yace Sula. The film examines how history can be mediated through autobiography.

Step into the contemplative world of acclaimed experimental filmmaker Peter Hutton with a rare screening of three of his most poetic works: Landscape (for Manon), Study of a River, and Time and Tide.

Traveller, sea merchant and avid sailor, Peter Hutton made silent films grounded in the fleeting movement of rivers, clouds, mist, smoke and sunlight, inspired by the river painters from the Hudson river school (1829–1908).

Curated and produced by videoclub (UK) and Dr. Isaac Leung (HK), Both Sides Now 10 presents a dynamic compilation of artists’ film and video works from the UK and Hong Kong.

This milestone 10th edition reflects on a decade of creative and cultural exchange, showcasing works that explore identity, heritage, queerness, speculative futures, and digital storytelling.

Join artist and filmmaker Graeme Arnfield for an evening of experimental screenings and live lecture performances exploring the intersections of cinema, history, and speculative futures.

This event is part of Graeme Arnfield's research into a labour dispute for The Case Against Space, a new project examining the first labour strike to occur in outer space and reflecting on contemporary labour conditions in the era of privatized space exploration.
