For the first in our series of 'Presenting Filmmakers' we have the great privelege of hosting Guy Sherwin.

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.

Screening:
Interval 1974 two projectors (only seen once since the 70s!)
Newsprint 1977 two projectors (on their sides)
Cycles #3 1972/2003 two projectors
Vowels & Consonants (six projectors)
Camden Road Station 2004 (three projectors - silent)
Wires 2004 (three projectors - silent)
Time Spirals 2007 a new piece for two projectors
Mobius Loops 2007 (stacked) a new piece for three projectors.

There will be time for questions and answers too.
