Dear Friends, You are invited to Messages From The Co-op: British Avant-garde Film 1967-76, an evening of British avant-garde 16mm film, 7pm, Wednesday 31 March & Thursday 1 April.
The London Film-Makers’ Co-operative was established in 1966. It was an artist-led organisation that provided a forum for screenings, workshops, film processing and distribution. Many of the films screened at the Co-op were reactions against the perceived 'illusionism' of Hollywood, and instead foreground the physical substances of the film medium. Other works undercut audience expectations of documentary realism with clever twists of humour, repetition and duration. Messages from the Co-op presents classic works by Guy Sherwin, Marilyn Halford, Malcolm Le Grice, John Smith, Peter Gidal and David Crosswaite. Most of these films have never been seen in New Zealand. This programme is presented in collaboration with The Adam Art Gallery and their installation Anthony McCall: Drawing with Light. The programme collects several films which embody the critical and creative spirit of Anthony McCall and his contemporaries, and has been brought to New Zealand courtesy of Lux, London.
