Afterimage

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 06/06/2023 - 02:59

The British film magazine Afterimage (1970-87) was founded more than 50 years ago, in a very different time to our own – one of radical new directions in international cinema and its accompanying manifestos.Over 13 irregularly published issues, each dedicated to a particular theme or filmmaker, a constant for Afterimage was its partisan position devoted to the avant-garde, to a radical cinema understood both aesthetically and politically. Early issues promoted the political cinema exemplified by the Godard of the Dziga Vertov Group and by the films of Straub-Huillet.

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

By Marcos Ortega on Lun, 11/03/2019 - 07:27

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.

The Pursuit of Wholeness pays tribute to seminal avant-garde filmmaker Gregory Markopoulos, with rare 16mm screenings of two of Markopoulos’ most acclaimed films and an exclusive preview of film critic Georgia Korossi’s documentary Devotion, a film that gives precious testimony of the 2016 edition of Temenos, the quadrennial event of screenings of Markopoulos’ monumental Eniaios. Curated by Eleonora Pesci this programme especially focuses on the ongoing, profound bond between the filmmaker’s works and his Greek heritage.

El cine de Gregory J. Markopoulos

By Marcos Ortega on Lun, 15/10/2018 - 06:32

Gregory J. Markopoulos (1928-92) fue uno de los cineastas más originales que surgió en la America de la postguerra. Sus películas abarcaron temas míticos, retratos y estudios de paisajes y arquitectura y han obtenido un reconocimiento muy amplio por su extraordinaria creatividad, el sensual uso del color y la innovación que representan en el uso de la forma cinemática. Por medio del uso de técnicas de montaje muy complejas y la superposición espontánea en cámara, buscó siempre la manera de liberar el misterio y energia que contiene un frame.

Soft Floor, Hard Film: Celebrating 50 Years of the London Film-Makers’ Co-op

By Marcos Ortega on Jue, 29/09/2016 - 07:29

Frieze Video and LUX present Soft Floor, Hard Film: 50 Years of the London Film-Makers’ Co-op.

Formed on October 13th 1968, the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative (LFMC) grew out of a series of screenings in the basement of counter-culture book store, Better Books, on Charing Cross road to become a pioneering organisation incorporating a film workshop, cinema space and distribution office. Radical in its early ideals, the Co-op played a crucial role in establishing moving image as an art form in the UK and internationally.

The 1960s and 1970s were a defining period for artists’ film and video, and the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative (LFMC) was one of the major international centres. Shoot Shoot Shoot documents the first decade of an artist-led organisation that pioneered the moving image as an art form in the UK, tracing its development from within London’s counterculture towards establishing its own identity within premises that uniquely incorporated a distribution office, cinema space and film workshop.

Peter Gidal: Flare Out

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 29/03/2016 - 16:48

A screening of four films by Peter Gidal to celebrate the publication of “Flare Out: Aesthetics 1966–2016”, a collection of his essays on film, art and aesthetics. Gidal was a central figure during the formative years of the London Film-Makers’ 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.

SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT: Film Screenings celebrating the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative

By Marcos Ortega on Lun, 07/03/2016 - 15:42

An afternoon of screenings celebrating the first decade of LUX’s predecessor, the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative (1966–76). The LFMC was founded in October 1966 as a non-commercial distributor of avant-garde cinema. In contrast to similar groups that emerged around the world, it grew to incorporate a distribution service, cinema space and film laboratory. Within this unique facility, filmmakers were able to control every aspect of the creative process.
