  • I Am Furious Black - The Films of William Greaves

    By on

    This retrospective traces the long-ranging career of the great William Greaves; filmmaker, producer and activist whose trailblazing work defied racial and artistic barriers across the 20th century. 

    Through his work in fiction, docs, and experimental films, Greaves educated the masses and challenged the status quo. Born in 1926 Harlem, a true renaissance man, he worked first as an actor and dancer before forming a long-lasting career as a producer, songwriter, and director.

  • Experiments in Film: A Focus on Gabriel Abrantes

    By on

    The Barbican’s Experiments in Film series turns its focus to Gabriel Abrantes, whose work moves freely across film, performance, digital media and installation. Drawing on an eclectic mix of references, from internet culture and political satire to melodrama, animation and contemporary art, Abrantes creates films that are as visually playful as they are disorienting. Presented alongside Bardo Loops at Gasworks, the two events showcase a practice shaped by collage, hybrid forms and unexpected cultural collisions.

  • Star Spangled to Death

    By on

    Almost 7 hours long, Ken Jacobs' magnum opus is a social critique of the USA, as poignant and relevant today as in the 1950s.

    One of the American avant-garde's most prolific figures, Ken Jacobs (1933-2025) eagerly embraced digital filmmaking in the late 1990s.

    From the monumental Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son to his Nervous Magic Lantern performances and more recent digital and 3D explorations, Jacobs's work is an uncompromised declaration of love for cinema.

  • Mari Terashima: Exquisite Tastes

    By on

    Violent tendencies and good table manners are never far apart in the films of Mari Terashima. Her work often plays on the double meaning of “taste”— both a marker of refinement and class, and a violent expression of the desire to consume. From a bloodthirsty toy dog with a penchant for fine dining, to a troupe of self-mutilating, tea party-hosting aristocrats, the three films in this collection, made between 1986 and 2009, combine eccentric characters with imagery at once abject and delicious.

    Ken Jacobs’ 1969 structural film classic created from found footage, including the 1905 original, is a masterful investigation of perception itself.

    As a prologue to the retrospective Seeing Through Film: Ken and Flo Jacobs, this film includes the 1905 original from Billy Bitzer (D. W. Griffith’s cinematographer).

  • Speaking Aloud / Conversation’s Over: Feminist Self-Portraits and Autobiographical Experiments

    By on

    Two newly digitised tapes from the LCVA act as the creative catalyst for this programme that explores different modes of feminist self-representation at the Barbican Cinema.

    The programme begins with two works from the London Community Video Archive (LCVA): Conversation’s Over: Liz & Pauline (c 1980) by the Basement Project and Terry Flaxton’s Circumstantial Evidence (1983) which are placed in dialogue with moving-image works by Utako Koguchi, Chick Strand, CAMP and Yace Sula. The film examines how history can be mediated through autobiography.

  • The Cinema of Peter Hutton

    By on

    Step into the contemplative world of acclaimed experimental filmmaker Peter Hutton with a rare screening of three of his most poetic works: Landscape (for Manon), Study of a River, and Time and Tide.

    Traveller, sea merchant and avid sailor, Peter Hutton made silent films grounded in the fleeting movement of rivers, clouds, mist, smoke and sunlight, inspired by the river painters from the Hudson river school (1829–1908).
