SFW: Launch Event

In collaboration with John Hansard Gallery, join artists and curators Simon Payne and Andrew Vallance for a programme of exciting, expanded cinema. 
 
The films they will introduce span the classic Berlin Horse (1970) by Malcolm Le Grice, through to more recent films in the tradition of experimental cinema. Jo Millet’s Surfeit (2010) centres on crashing waves. Cathexis (2025), by Steven McInerney, is a psychotropic mode of visual music. Simon Payne’s Intervals (2023) involves dynamic colour fields. Traction (2023), by Jenny Baines, depicts a tug-of-war that features the artist in contest with herself. Lynn Loo’s Leaving and Arriving and Andrew Vallance’s VIA (2024) take the viewer on journeys by train. The orchestrated thunder and lightning in Stephen Littman’s The Enlightenment (2016) is a charged electrical array of video imaging.
