Please join us for the next screening and meet-up of the East London Experimental Film Club at Good Shepherd Studios, a forum for encountering alternative cinema in all of its forms in a friendly and welcoming environment. This month, we are thrilled to be presenting a rare public screening of one of the early works of the pioneering and enormously influential contemporary artist Bill Viola, who passed away this summer.

One of the major works in video, I Do Not Know What It Is I Am Like (1986) envisions an epic quest for transcendence and self-knowledge. Unfolding in powerful, emblematic images and allegorical passages, Viola articulates a dramatic quest for self-knowledge through an awareness of the Other, embodied here by a shamanistic vision of animal consciousness.
