4. PUBLISHING

Sarah Pucill, Selected Works (4 DVD set). DVDs self-published in UK.
Sarah Pucill’s films and photographs explore the mirroring and  
merging we seek in the Other; a sense of self which is transformative  
and fluid. Her work is concerned with the idea that as subjects we  
are not separate.Pucill’s individual cinematic language emerged in  
the 1990s in the context of visual arts and experimental film.  
Focusing on the materiality of film and the body, she creates a vivid  
and unsettling psychic world that sets up the imaginary as a  
potential site of resistance. DVD 1: Early Shorts. You Be Mother  
(1990), Milk and Glass (1993), Backcomb (1995), Mirrored Measure  
(1996), DVD 2: Swollen Stigma (1998), Cast (2000), DVD 3: Stages of  
Morning (2004), DVD 4: Taking My Skin (2006). Available from LUX  
http://www.lux.org.uk/shop/video.htm

Worlds in Flux, Semiconductor. DVD published in UK by Fat Cat.  
Semiconductor is the alias of Brighton-based duo Ruth Jarman and  
Joseph Gerhardt, who since 1999 have been making stunning, cutting- 
edge digital artworks in the form of sound-films, music videos and  
live animation. This DVD offers a comprehensive overview of their  
work over the past five years, featuring 3 music videos (including  
those for múm and QT?), 4 live cinema pieces, and 6 short films.

SCREENINGS AND EVENTS

LUX SALON
The LUX Salon returns with a new monthly series of guest curated  
screenings delving into the vaults of the LUX collection to show the  
classics - known, lost and forgotten…

Wednesday 21 February 7pm for 7.30pm start
LUX SALON: HEY! Work It Out For Yourself
Two rarely seen films exploring the authenticity of production and  
interpretation, selected by Jackie Holt. Margaret Raspé’s ‘Oh Death  
How Nourishing You Are (1972-3, Germany, 15 min, Super-8) explores  
issues of personal responsibility and death, through the lens of  
Raspé’s purpose-built ‘camera helmet’. Stephanie Beroes’ ‘Debt Begins  
at 20’ (1980, USA, 40 min, 16mm), is a semi-fictionalised record of  
the early years of the Pittsburgh punk scene. ‘Oh Death How  
Nourishing You Are’ will be accompanied with a live musical  
performance from LORD JOHN.
LUX Salon takes place at LUX OFFICE, Shacklewell Studios, 18  
Shacklewell Lane, London, E8 2EZ. ADMISSION FREE. Places are  
extremely limited so booking is essential. To book a place send your
