This seminar will look at the international legacy of the L.A. Rebellion films and seek to situate these works in the broader history of politics, music and visuals arts. Through the participation of artists and theorists based in the UK alongside visiting filmmakers, the seminar will look at the international reverberations of this period, its impact and connection to global movements from the Third Cinema to film collectives in the UK such as the Black Audio Film Collective and contemporary artists.
