FOR YOU. PETER TODD: FILM WORKS 1990-2005
Greenwich Picturehouse & Hammersmith Riverside
21 & 22 April 2007

Two afternoon screenings introduced by Peter Todd of 16mm films, in conjunction with the exhibition Outside Inside Inside Outside at The Surgery, London.

“They stay long enough to reveal what you’d miss in passing, intimate enough to make you linger, thoughtful enough to make you, in turn, think.” (Alan Alderson-Smith, Phoenix Arts)

“… crafter of poetic ruminations about ordinary life … No special effects: just a camera trained on nondescript surroundings, made poignant by the soundtrack’s medley of voices and director’s sensitivity to the layers of emotions that shape the most ordinary of lives.” (Geoff Brown, The Times)

“One’s own mundane circuit is often so internalised, that it takes the visualisation of another’s … to let us see our own afresh. To be benignly jolted, calmly encouraged to reconsider the possible immanence of awe, is one of the recurrent effects of Todd’s work in this vein.” (Gareth Evans, Vertigo)
