The 1960s and 1970s were groundbreaking decades in which independent filmmakers challenged cinematic convention. In England, much of the innovation took place at the London Film-Makers\u2019 Co-operative, an artist-led organisation that enabled filmmakers to control every aspect of the creative process. LFMC members conducted an investigation of celluloid that echoed contemporary developments in painting and sculpture. During this same period, British filmmakers also made significant innovations in the field of \u2018expanded cinema\u2019, creating multi-screen projections, film environments and live performance pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n The physical production of a film (its printing and processing) became integral to its form and content as Malcolm Le Grice, Lis Rhodes, Peter Gidal and others explored the material and mechanics of cinema, making radical new works that contributed to a new visual language. The London Film-Makers\u2019 Co-operative, which was established on 13th October 1966, grew from a film society at the heart of London\u2019s sixties counterculture to become Europe\u2019s largest distributor of experimental cinema and was recognised internationally as a major centre for avant-garde film.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cShoot Shoot Shoot: The First Decade of the London Film-Makers\u2019 Co-operative & British Avant-Garde Film 1966-76\u201d was a major research and exhibition project that toured worldwide from 2002-04. The original 8 programme package of single screen films, multiple projection works and expanded cinema performances that was shown at 19 venues including London Tate Modern, Gateshead Baltic, Basel Kunsthalle, Barcelona Funda\u00e7io Anton\u00ed Tapies, Athens Dest\u00e9 Foundation, Tokyo Image Forum and the Melbourne International Film Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n This new package is being made available on the 40th anniversary of the LFMC to support the release of the DVD \u201cShoot Shoot Shoot: British Avant-Garde Film of the 1960s & 1970s\u201d in Autumn 2006. The two programmes contain several films that are not on the DVD and some which were not included in the original tour.<\/span><\/p>\n 10 & 11 November 2006, London Tate Modern \u201cShoot Shoot Shoot\u201d is a LUX project.
