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.
Join us on Sat 12th February for the MIA Masterclass with Benjamin Cook, founder director of LUX and LUX Scotland. He will give a personal account of the history of LUX, the development of artists' moving image over the past 20 years and his thoughts on the future.
The latest episode of Into the Mothlight looks at Lux and how they support artists working in the moving image. In their chat with Lux founding Director Benjamin Cook they touch on the history of the organisation, the collection of works they are responsible for and the importance of being able to access some works online. They also discuss the 1-2-1 advice sessions that Lux delivers for artists and the Lux Critical Forum.
Slides by Annabel Nicolson and Girish Shambu’s manifesto For a New Cinephilia are used as starting points from which to construct Movement and Handling, Selected Works from the LUX Collection. Nicolson’s fascination with fragments of older films and the transience of construction suggests a link with Shambu’s new cinephilia – a transient place between online and real-life.
