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?

Various Artists Benedict Drew

Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties.
