Raw Vision at Barbican Cinema (08 JUL 18:30) / Part of Splash, Scratch, Dunk! Films Made by Hand.

  • “Dive into a world of colour with this programme of films made by scratching into, painting on, or affixing things to the surface of the filmstrip. These films are made entirely without recourse to photography: the abstract imagery on show is derived exclusively from the artists’ interventions on the surface of the celluloid itself. We begin and end with Len Lye, a pioneer of handmade cinema, and a touchstone for the handmade moving image-artists who followed.” (Barbican)
  • Please note: this programme contains flashing light and is not suitable for people with certain types of epilepsy.
