  • Shoot Shoot Shoot, London Film-Makers' Co-operative - The First Decade

    By on
    Mare's Tail (David Larcher, 1969)

    The London Film-Makers' Co-operative (LFMC) was founded in October 1966, and soon grew from its beginnings as a film-viewing group to become one of the major centres of a worldwide network of avant-garde film culture. In contrast to similar co-operative endeavours, the LFMC's activity was not limited to distribution – within a few years it was also running a regular program in its own cinema and, most notably, it democratized the means of production by establishing a film workshop that enabled filmmakers to control every stage of the creative process.

  • Braquage: On the loop

    By on
    Berlin Horse (Malcolm Le Grice, 1970)

    The motif of the loop, or more precisely repetition with variations, is one of the formal and thematic principles recurrent in experimental cinema, one of its major functions being to defamiliarize the gaze in a strange paradox. This selection of films offers an overview of different techniques and conceptual variations of this fascinating and troubling motif.

    Broken Horses (Peter Miller, 2007)

    This special session is the launch of the "Re-engineering the industry" program, dedicated to a Mire laboratory machine, the Debrie contact printer, which makes it possible to copy 16mm film. In the coming months, masterclass, workshop and artist residency will aim at a dialogue between artists and technicians in order to perpetuate and develop the use of machinery abandoned by the film industry and to reappropriate its use for artistic purposes.

  • Malcolm Le Grice: "Principles of Cinematography" and "Horror Film 1"

    By on

    British moving image pioneer Malcolm Le Grice revisits two of his early performative works for the launch of Dreamlands: Expanded. In the rarely seen “Principles of Cinematography” (1973) Le Grice reads from Leslie J. Wheeler’s 1953 book of the same name to the accompaniment of projection of clear 16mm film leader. Le Grice also performs his iconic “Horror Film 1” for triple 16mm projection, employing his own body in a shadow play with the superimposed streams of colored light. First performed in 1971, the work was described at the time by Jonas Mekas as “one of his most simple, most classical, and also most ecstatic pieces”.

The LFMC was founded in October 1966 as a non-commercial distributor of avant-garde cinema.
