This program brings together seven handcrafted film works by Australian analogue experimentalists Richard Tuohy and Dianna Barrie. Across five years of creative exploration, these films stand as individual experiments in form and structure, each imbued with its own poetic resonance.
This special screening brings together distinct perspectives on how ritual and celebration reshape public space, memory, and identity in the UK. ‘New Territories (spectacle is king)’ by Rhea Storr (2025), ‘The Flora Faddy Furry Dance Day’ by Richard Philpott (1989), and ‘Syncopated Green’ by Arjuna Neuman (2022) recall personal and cultural histories and traditions as they explore Caribbean carnivals, a Cornish festival, and outdoor raves as sites of both joy and resistance.
