SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT PROGRAM 2

This second glimpse at the first decade of the London Film-Makers’ Co-op anticipates some of the new directions that followed in later years. Short Film Series is an open-ended set of observational pieces by Guy Sherwin, each the length of a 16mm film roll. Mike Dunford’s Still Life with Pear wittily deconstructs the act of filming, and John Smith constructs a word game of visual puns in Associations. Finally, two double 16mm projection serve as examples of British expanded cinema: Gill Eatherley’s understated feminist ‘room film’, and River Yar, Raban & Welsby’s majestic time-lapse study of a tidal river estuary.
