Sherwin's
experimental films delve deep into the magic of celluloid, focusing on
the processes at work in the marriage between film, light, time and
chemistry. His work at the historic London Filmmakers Coop, and
subsequently while teaching at Middlesex and Wolverhampton
Universities, often uses multiple projectors, live performance and a
structural approach to film making and viewing. Within these formal
approaches, he achieves very poetic results. He will present new and
long term projects (ongoing since the early 1970's) with collaborator
and partner Lynn Loo.
