bfi & Tate: Rare Finds
| |
Still from Class Relations
1984 |
|
Developed around the presentation of Bill Morrison's stunning new
Decasia, a film composed entirely of archival footage, our
Autumn programme features films comprising 'found' footage which,
by means of editing and occasional manipulation, generates extraordinary
poetic resonance or political insight. These creative experiments
with material sources are then counterpointed by a selection of work
by Jean-Marie Straub and Daničle Huillet derived entirely from a variety
of non-material sources - novels, music, plays, poems and historical
documents. Challenging the conventions of 'adaptation', their films
are a fascinating record of their encounters with these texts, clearly
documenting the interaction between the original forms, of which they
are profoundly respectful, and those of the films in which they are
presented. All of these 'rare finds' are screened to coincide with
Tate's Sigmar Polke exhibition
in which the artist makes rich use of 'found' and manipulated images
from various printed media.
Programmed by the British Film Institute in association with Tate,
showcasing the wealth and diversity of the bfi's national collections
