SCREENINGS AND EVENTS

Friday 10 November – Saturday 11 November 2006 7pm both nights
Shoot Shoot Shoot: British Avant-Garde Film of the 1960s and 1970s,  
Tate Modern, London http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/eventseducation/ 
film/shootshootshootbritishavantgardefilmofthe1960sand1970s.htm
The 1960s and 1970s were ground-breaking decades in which independent  
filmmakers challenged cinematic convention. In England, much of the  
innovation took place at the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative, an  
artist-led organisation that enabled filmmakers to control every  
aspect of the creative process. LFMC members conducted an  
investigation of celluloid that echoed contemporary developments in  
painting and sculpture. The physical production of a film became  
integral to its form and content as Malcolm Le Grice, Lis Rhodes,  
Peter Gidal and others explored the material and mechanics of cinema,  
making radical new works that contributed to a new visual language.  
Curated by Mark Webber.

Wednesday 22 November 6pm, Curzon Soho, London

Saturday 25 November 1.30pm, The London Butterfly House, Syon Park.
London: City of Disappearances. Film screening and reading
'London is a city of disappearances and fallible memories. Alongside  
the contemporary city, of noise and celebrity, is that other city: of  
the dead, the unvoiced, the erased. Here there are fabulous  
identities which, freed from their mundane reality, survive as  
eternal fictions, and urban myths with more blood and vigour than the  
contemporary cartoons of manufactured notoriety.'
To mark the publication of Iain Sinclair's book London: City of  
Disappearances a special artists' film screening and reading taking  
place at the London Butterfly House, one of London's distinctive  
locations which is threatened with closure in the next year. As well  
as readings by Iain Sinclair and other book contributors, there will  
be a screening of artists' films reflecting on the themes of the  
book. More details to be announced at www.lux.org.uk soon.
Screening free with price of admission to the Butterfly House.
See http://www.londonbutterflyhouse.com/ for directions.
