Body Prop is an avant-garde essay film and attack against the ontology of white imperialism. Made of mostly hand-processed super 8 film - the rejected pieces of film used in other pieces of The Numb Spiral. The piece, in five movements, takes on the subject of the Body as a prop, as a body politic, as a simulation, and as a necropolitical expense, creating a “Cadaver Decomposition Island” of discarded scraps of Super 8 and archival material reveal the shadow of US nihilism within the advanced stage of hyperreality.

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, in the lead-up to the US presidential election, we will be watching the European premiere of American underground artist M Woods' Commodity Trading: Dies Irae (2022). A hallucinatory, nightmarish collage of 16mm film, animation, and archival footage, Commodity Trading engages with and embodies a sense of overwhelming and hypermediated numbness emerging after the election of Donald Trump in 2016.
