        Hendon F.C. medium

        Lewis’ most recent film Hendon FC (2009) was made on a state-of-the-art RED camera on a football field in suburban northwest London. It is shot at the familiar pace found throughout Lewis’ work. The camera sets a scene, panning the circumference of the sun-lit urban landscape, slowly moving through 360-degrees of its maximum and minimum elevation. Sweeping across an abandoned football pitch and the daily lives of Romany families, who’ve now settled and live in the overgrown enclosure, where terraces have become vacant and overrun with weeds.

      • Mark Lewis — Special screenings

        Backstory & Two Impossible FIlms

        Thursday 3 December, 8pm
        Sallis Benney Theatre

        Backstory Cinema Motel

        Backstory
        Director: Mark Lewis, USA 2009. 39 mins.

        In this documentary Lewis tells the story of the founders of rear projection, a technique in which a second unit crew films a scene’s actual location. Lewis has said, “… in the 1920s someone had the great idea to actually put film inside of film – in order to give the effect that someone was somewhere where they were not . . . Now it seems to me that at this point film became fully and definitively ‘modern.’”

        Two Impossible Films
        Director: Mark Lewis. Can 1995. 28 mins.

        Based on a pair of projects that were never made: Eisenstein’s movie of Marx’s Kapital and Sam Goldwyn’s absurd fantasy of filming the complete works of Freud. Lewis shoots only the opening and closing credits. The rest, apparently, is summarised in laconic storyboards – ‘Plot Development, ‘Temporary Resolution’ and so forth. Only in dream or theory could such texts ever be realised as drama.

      • Figuring Landscapes confirmed
        for Cine-City programme

        Artists’ Moving Image from Australia and the UK

        Landscape is a vital theme through which artists have tackled issues of representation, nation and identity.  FIGURING LANDSCAPES is a remarkable collection of moving image works from Australia and the UK that has grown from the background of the political and cultural history that links the two countries and the close relationship that continues between them. The individual pieces in FIGURING LANDSCAPES address ecological survival, post-industrialism, gender, the touristic gaze, and the social, political and cultural status of indigenous people in a post-colonial modern society.

        The five themed programmes in FIGURING LANDSCAPES will be complemented by a panel discussion on Sat 28 Nov chaired by UK co-curator Catherine Elwes.
