THE TIMES BFI 50th LONDON FILM FESTIVAL
18 October 2 November 2006
The Times BFI London Film Festival presents its fourth annual "Experimenta
Avant-Garde Weekend", featuring a concentrated, international programme of
artists¹ film and video. This is a unique opportunity to survey some of the
most original and vital work by international artists, presenting a
diversity of observations, personal statements and technical innovation. We
anticipate that many film-makers will be in attendance to introduce and
discuss their work.
In this anniversary year, we will celebrate the work of Jack Smith and
special guest Kenneth Anger, both influential pioneers distinguished for
their creative vision and lack of compromise. Taking Œold media¹ outside the
architecture of the cinema, Luis Recoder and Sandra Gibson will perform a
live multi-projection work at the ICA to close the weekend on Monday
evening.
Other festival highlights include the folk art films made by Phil Chambliss
in the Arkansas outback, and screenings of recently restored prints of
Alejandro Jodorowsky¹s ³Holy Mountain² and Vittorio de Seta¹s glorious
documentary shorts.
Many thanks to everyone who advised me with suggestions for the programmes,
and to all those who submitted work this year.
