Since he first began making films in the regular 8mm format during the 1960s, Ernie Gehr has developed into one of the most singular artists in the cinematic avant-garde. Considered ‘a filmmaker's filmmaker’ by peers and critics such as J. Hoberman and P. Adams Sitney, Gehr produces lucid, rigorous, radiant films that address the fundamental qualities of film as film, and the anxieties of cinematic representation. This series of five programmes includes work ranging from his 1970 shock corridor masterpiece, Serene Velocity, to dynamic city films such as Side/Walk/Shuttle (1991), as well as his most recent work in digital video. Following retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Centre Georges Pompidou, and the San Francisco Cinematheque, don’t miss this long overdue London survey of Gehr’s transformative films.
