    Description

    9 March 2018, 18:30, Birkbeck Cinema

    A celebration of the collaborative work of Bev Zalcock and Sara Chambers, who were in conversation with film curator and researcher Selina Robertson.

    “We came together from different experiences to a shared understanding of the films we wanted to make. Most of our films are short, no budget, homemade affairs, shot on Super 8 and slide film.
    This screening includes a number of films that connect with the traditions of underground and abstract filmmaking, focusing on elements of light, colour and rhythm. Others represent entries in the diary of our lives, based on the things we enjoy – music, films and friendship. Finally, we want our films to be enjoyed – ‘we require filmic pleasure!’” (Bev Zalcock and Sara Chambers, Barrelstout Productions)
