Friday 20 April 2007, 19.00

Acclaimed American artist Matthew Buckingham’s formally elegant film installations investigate the uncanny push and pull between the past and the present. His work uses the cinematic space of film and video to stage personalized narratives that question the relationships between the living presence of the viewer, the phantasms of history, and the politics of institutions, archives, and cultural memory.

In conjunction with PLAY THE STORY, Buckingham's exhibition at Camden Arts Centre running 27 April – 01 July 2007, this special Tate Modern screening presents three of his films: Amos Fortune Road (1996), Situation Leading to a Story (1999) and Obscure Moorings (2006).

The screening is followed by a discussion with Matthew Buckingham, critic Mark Godfrey and Tate curator Stuart Comer.
