With Alexander Stewart in person

Lilli Carré and Alexander Stewart are acclaimed artists, filmmakers, designers, animators and curators. They have each created unique and substantial bodies of work, utilising a diverse range of techniques including drawn, digital, photocopied and computer generated animation as well as live action film, ceramics, printmaking and comics. This final programme in the Edge of Frame Weekend is an opportunity to see a selection of their extraordinary moving image works, produced both individually and collaboratively.

A programme of works which use the material of film itself as a canvas. These visceral, vibrant films feature camera-less techniques such as scratching, painting and printing onto the filmstrip, subjecting film to decay and decomposition, and affixing materials such as letraset or insects to its surface. The remarkable visions created through these diverse approaches fill the frame with dynamic textures and colour, and many will be presented on 16mm and 35mm prints. Seen in the cinema, these works achieve a powerful effect, immersing us in strange and previously unseen worlds, and displaying the breadth and scope of abstract film.

WORM.Filmwerkplaats brings to Filmhuis Cavia the Berlin based artists Deborah S. Phillips and Klara Ravat. Both work with a variety of media, but their common ground is 16mm filmmaking. The Scent of Colour encompasses recent and early works - 16mm films and expanded cinema performances. Phillips’ research descends deeply into the essence of the colours red, blue and green, explored through their chemical, linguistic and musical properties, while Ravat’s work focusses on the sense of smell as research, creating media and odour artworks combined with analogue filmmaking.
