The 36th Cambridge Film Festival’s Microcinema strand will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the London Film-Makers’ Co-op with 4 programmes of exciting new artist’s moving image films. The Microcinema strand will also have an immersive moving-image installation by artist and experimental filmmaker, Steve Farrer, followed by a roundtable discussion about where moving image was, is now, and will be in the future.

The Microcinema’s 4 new artist moving image programmes include:

While the immersive installation by Steve Farrer will be held at Heong Gallery, Downing College Cambridge from 10am to 6pm from Thursday, October 20th – Tuesday, October 25th with free admission. The exhibition was shot in Bexhill’s De La Warr Pavilion and is a long and slow repeated arabesque sequence, replicated in the multiple exposures of a single performer’s gestures that have been repeated and looped through the camera and projector. The immersive installation is based on the dream-like scene, The Kingdom of the Shades, and plays on the spectator’s construction of time and space.

Finally, the then and now roundtable discussion will take place Monday, October 24th at 3:30 pm at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse- 38-39 St Andrew’s St, Cambridge CB2 3AR.
