DEUX FOIS (1969) BY JACKIE RAYNAL
Wednesday 17 March, 7pm talk/event
Screening and discussion with Marina Vishmidt and Nina Power.
 
Part of 'Visions, Divisions and Revisions: Political Film and Film Theory
in the 1970s and 80s', a programme of screenings and discussions organised
by Petra Bauer and Dan Kidner, taking place during the exhibition 'A
History of Irritated Material' at Raven Row, 25 February to 2 May 2010.
 
'Visions, Divisions and Revisions' revisits the idea of ‘film as a
political practice’, as it was practiced and theorised in the 1970s and
80s in the UK. Over the course of six events we will look at some of the
key debates that enlivened these years: issues around authorship; the role
of the audience; the relation of theory to practice; the use of
psychoanalysis in film; and different ideas of collectivity.
Events are free but booking is essential as space is limited. Please emailinfo@ravenrow.org to reserve a place.
