Lost And Found
CastVarious
Hannes Schüpbach's L'Atelier (Switzerland) is a 16mm homage to artistic creation; Charlotte Pryce's The Parable of the Tulip Painter and the Fly (USA) sumptuously uses 16mm Kodachrome to imbue painting and film with intoxicating colour; the latest installment in David Gatten's internationally celebrated The Secret History of the Dividing Line series, How to Conduct a Love Affair (USA) hints at love's mystical and abiding powers; Astrid Ofner (Antigone in Straub and Huillet's Antigone) matches Franz Kafka's heart-rending letters to his beloved Milena Jesenská with fragile images of Vienna in Sag es mir Dienstag (Austria); Abraham Ravett's TZIPORAH (USA) is a careful and quiet response to grief and loss. The programme concludes with a recently restored print of Encyclopaedia Britannica (UK) by late British conceptual art pioneer John Latham, whose work has been collected by several major museums.
