French distributor Light Cone organizes its fourth Scratch Expanded, coinciding with its annual Preview Show (screenings of recent works deposited in its catalogue). This year's edition, that will take place next September 15-18, pays special attention to filmmakers Warren Sonbert and Rose Lowder (protagonist of two screenings as filmmaker and programmer).
For the fantastic closing evening on Saturday, Light Cone has prepared a series of screenings and performances, including three programmes of recent films from their collection, three 16mm performances by Peter Miller, two Paul Clipson’s Super 8 films with a live-concert by Dominique Pichon and two 16mm performances by Bruce McClure.
