PETER GIDAL: FLARE OUT \u2014 SCREENING AND BOOK LAUNCH<\/strong>
\n Thursday 14 April 2016, at 7pm<\/strong>
\n London Tate Britain
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

A screening of four films by Peter Gidal to celebrate the publication of Flare Out: Aesthetics 1966\u2013201<\/em>6<\/a>, a collection of his essays on film, art and aesthetics. Gidal was a central figure during the formative years of the London Film-Makers\u2019 Co-op and made some its most radical works. His cinema is anti-narrative, against representation and fiercely materialist, and his writings are similarly polemical and unique. This programme of films from the 1960s to the present includes his most recent work, and will be introduced by Mark Webber and Peter Gidal.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe draws out singularities. He allows the camera only a fenced in area, piecemeal. He lets the gaze hold on objects and constantly repeats \u2026 this permits the possibilities of the discrepancies between one\u2019s own seeing and seeing with the camera to become distinct, and this in turn allows for a completely different experience of the surroundings.\u201d (Birgit Hein)<\/p>\n

Flare Out: Aesthetics 1966\u20132016<\/em>, edited by Mark Webber and Peter Gidal, is published by The Visible Press.<\/p>\nPROGRAMME NOTES<\/a>

ASSUMPTION<\/strong>
\n Peter Gidal, 1997, 16mm, colour, sound, 1 min<\/strong>
\nAssumption<\/em> features glimpses of life at the London Film-Makers\u2019 Co-op; but is more than a potted history of an organisation. It pays tribute to Mary Pat Leece, a founding member of Four Corners Film Workshop and a teacher at Chelsea and Saint Martins Schools of Art, one of the true innovators of the independent film sector. With its virtuoso editing, voice-overs and scrolling titles, it works as a densely-plotted celebration of independent film culture at the end of the 1990s.<\/p>\n

KEY
\nPeter Gidal, 1968-69, 16mm, colour, sound, 10 min<\/strong>
\nA slow zoom-out and image dissolve (defocus) of \u2026 (+feedback sound).<\/p>\n

KOPENHAGEN\/1930
\nPeter Gidal, 1977, 16mm, b\/w, silent, 40 min<\/strong>
\nKopenhagen\/1930<\/em> presents a different attitude to the seductions of content, to the signifying processes that are repressed in the rigorous procedures of the Structural\/Materialist film. Its material is \u2018images by George Gidal, Copenhagen 1930\u2019: photographs, their grounding and their signification.<\/p>\n

NOT FAR AT ALL
\nPeter Gidal, 2013, 16mm, colour, sound, 15 min<\/strong>
\nFirst film in 5 years, tempted to say different yet the same, but not. not far at all<\/em>\u2019s soundtrack, just for the record, is concrete\/abstract without language.<\/p>\n
