MIRAJ, in partnership with @luxmovingimage, invites abstracts for a conference celebrating the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the London Video Arts' formation.
As part of LUX's current exhibition 'Narrative Warfare', Jordan Lord presents a screening programme bringing together works by Finnegan Shannon and Louise Hickman, Tiffany Sia, Miranda Pennell and Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa.
In collaboration with Aliaskar Abarkas, LUX is delighted to mark the 50th anniversary of ‘Nightcleaners (Part 1)’ (1975) with a special online exhibition from 3 to 17 November 2025. Created by the Berwick Street Collective (Marc Karlin, Mary Kelly, James Scott and Humphry Trevelyan), the film remains a landmark of 1970s political cinema.

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.

Writer Paul Clinton selects films from the LUX archive that reflect the ambivalence in Lionel Soukaz’s works towards sexual liberation movements and their internal norms. The programme examines how differently these ideas are articulated in a British and American context.
