BOOM! The Exploding Cinema and the New London Underground Cinema Scene.
Using archive photos, artwork, posters, propaganda and eye witness testimony, BOOM! charts the emergence of the Exploding Cinema collective from the art squats of Brixton to international infamy, from the analog machines of the nineties to the contemporary digital online cinema. And although the key focus is the Exploding Cinema, this is also a history of the broader London underground movement and includes material from numerous other groups and agents including MyEyesMyEyes, Omsk, the Halloween Society, Undercurrents, the Volcano! Film Festival, Kaos filmmgruppe and many others. The book is compiled and edited by collective member and filmmaker Duncan Reekie, but the content is a radical collage of collective creation assembled from the work of the rolling membership over 30 years.
