Curated and Introduced by John Thomson This program of image-based films is a survey of the work being made in London recently. As a general theme there is an intersection between the visual tradition of experimental filmmaking and contemporary concerns with personal identity and sexuality. Backcomb, by Sarah Pucill, is a revenge film where the protagonist's greatest destruction is ultimately her own. The Watershed, by Alia Syed, is a film of testimonies. Delilah, by Tanya Mahboob Syed, is a kinetic mix of female expressions of power and desire. Also by Syed is Salamander, an expressionistic nocturne set in an urban landscape that carries its "lesbian sub-plot" with the power of a ten-ton truck. Those Roads, by Evelyn Ficarra and Suse Bohse, is a delicious and curious exploration of familiar objects and the sounds they make. Sandra Lahire's Night Dances is a swirl by Hebrew grave stones in a living dance of death. In 1970 the actor Sir Alec Guinness wrote a letter of complaint to The Times newspaper about the lack of attention shop assistants gave to customers. Using that story as its inspiration, Carol Morley's I'm Not Here is a witty combination of extracts from a Harrods' training video and original footage of Miss London Stores 1970.-John Thomson John Thomson is the cinema programmer at the London Filmmakers Co-op.
