Although collage has a long established place in visual art, its use in commercial cinema is rare. Experimental film and video provides a platform to play with and reorder both picture and sound, by using fragments of pre-existing material to generate new combinations and meanings. Found footage from the amateur or commercial world is repurposed and reimagined, and regular soundtrack conventions are disrupted to create unexpected juxtapositions and new textures.
This summer, South London welcomes the ninth edition of London Experimental, an anti-festival that platforms the voices of emerging experimental artists.
On Sunday, June 15th, the anti-festival will take over the Birdhouse Brewery in Herne Hill with informal drop-in-style screenings showing 40 short films across three large screening rooms. The event opens at noon and runs until late, encouraging filmmakers, curators, and the general public to engage with a diverse range of experimental short films. The event is free of charge and open to all.

Refle-x-périmental #18 Through the Looking Glass: The London Film-Makers’ Co-op ‘66-75
In 2025, Refle-x-périmental continues to pay tribute to the work of experimental film cooperatives founded from the 1960s onward, in a spirit of independence, rebellion, and (re)invention of the avant-garde and cinematic thinking. Among these, the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative (LFMC), founded in 1966, stands out as one of the most influential centers of British experimental cinema.
