Film Co-op / Film as Film - 60s 70s [ c95mins]

The London Filmmakers Co-op, founded in 1966, initially followed  
Jonas Mekas’ New York model in being a artist-run distribution  
organisation. But London quickly added a vital new ingredient – a  
film-editing workshop and film-processing laboratory, radically  
reducing costs and crucially allowing experiment during all stages of  
the filmmaking process. The works in this programme are by many of  
the key players of the Co-op’s first years.

Southbank
London SE1

In the revolutionary atmosphere of the 60s, filmmaking artists  
noisily opposed censorship and demanded honesty in representations of  
sex on screen, with London-based New Yorkers Schneemann and Dwoskin  
leading the way. In the 70s, after the austere ‘structuralist’ period  
where representations of the body were generally considered taboo,  
Feminist artists led by Rhodes answered Laura Mulvey’s challenging  
question “What would women’s cultural practice be like? What would  
art and literature within an ideology that did not oppress women be  
like?”.

LVA - Video Art contra Television - 70s [c90mins]
Bfi Southbank
Southbank
London SE1
http://www.bfi.org.uk

The arrival of the artist-run London Video Arts, (later Access),  
marked a moment of ‘video specificity’ - video explored as a new  
medium, with its own material properties. More lastingly, it also  
issued in video as a critique of dominant mainstream television.  
Through its association with the Air Gallery and other artist-run  
spaces, LVA pioneered different forms of video exhibition - and this  
programme includes works for both single monitor and multi-channel  
presentation, (the latter courtesy of the University of Dundee’s  
REWIND project).
