Film Programme 2: Celluloid
Bill Morrison Guy Sherwin Jürgen Reble Thomas Köner Various Artists William Basinski

Standard Gauge & ()
Morgan Fisher
A double bill of Morgan Fisher films that ask what can be achieved by a simple structural method of commenting on scraps of 35mm film, re-shot on 16mm film and what happens to meaning (if anything) when ‘insert shots’ are relieved of their original duty of providing crucial plot development for a variety of other movies?
