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.
Amid the worldwide flourishing of experimental filmmaker groups that emerged in the 1960s in the form of independent cooperatives, the Italian movement, sometimes self-designated as “underground,” stands out for its originality and aesthetic diversity, as well as for its resistance to any form of commercialization or professionalization, whether in the art market or industrial cinema.
In 2025, Refle-x-périmental continues to pay tribute to the work of experimental film cooperatives that emerged from the 1960s onwards, embracing independence, rebellion, and the (re)invention of both avant-garde cinema and thought. After celebrating the co-ops founded in New York, Hamburg, and Amsterdam, as well as the 50th anniversary of the Paris Films Coop, the winter season will open with a focus on the West Coast of the United States.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the Paris Films Coop, this new season of Refle-x-périmental celebrates the work of experimental film cooperatives founded in the 1960s in a spirit of independence, rebellion and (re)invention of the avant-garde and cinematic thought. From the New York coop to those founded in Hamburg and Amsterdam, not to mention the Paris Films Coop, which celebrates its fiftieth anniversary in 2024, this season's programming will culminate in Cinédoc's annual festival Novembre Expérimental #5 - La Jouissance-cinéma.
