THE BFI 56th LONDON FILM FESTIVAL<\/strong> This year\u2019s London Film Festival presents its largest ever series of artists moving image programmes, culminating in the annual Experimenta Weekend from 19-21 October 2012.<\/p>\n In collaboration with the ICA, the Festival will also present several screenings of artists\u2019 films to coincide with the Frieze Art Fair, from 10-13 October 2012. Our alternative opening night programme features the latest long-form work by Turner Award nominee Luke Fowler and a portrait of artist Carolee Schneemann. Further programmes at the ICA include the launch of our focus on special guest Peter Kubelka.<\/p>\n From his earliest film, Kubelka recognised that cinema could be so much more than a medium for telling stories, and he has been one of the most tireless advocates of film as an art form. His new work Antiphon<\/em> (2012) will screen with Arnulf Rainer<\/em> (1960) in an expanded projection event Monument Film <\/em>on Sunday 21 October. Both films will also be exhibited on the walls of the BFI Southbank Atrium for the duration of the Festival. Martina Kudlacek\u2019s epic documentary on Kubelka will screen at the ICA, along with a programme of his complete works to date.<\/p>\n The extraordinary presentation of Monument Film<\/em> in the grand NFT1 cinema forms the centrepiece of an Experimenta Weekend full of outstanding visions. Thom Andersen, Nathaniel Dorsky and Laida Lertxundi return with new films, whilst Mati Diop introduces her award winning work in London for the first time, and Beatrice Gibson premieres The Tiger\u2019s Mind<\/em>.<\/p>\n The weekend begins appropriately at zero point, with Isidore Isou\u2019s On Venom and Eternity<\/em> (the unabridged 1951 version, screening in a brand new print): a film that radically rejected convention in its attempt to liberate cinema from the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alina Rudnitskaya\u2019s humanistic approach to documentary filmmaking often brings out the humour in her chosen subjects.
