An Avant-garde Twist

Friday 24 September 2004, 19.00
Part of British Art Week

Experimental film-making reached a zenith in the1960s. Artists and film-makers produced work which, over forty years later, remains important and inspirational. In London the Film-makers Co-operative was founded in 1966 for its members to exchange ideas and benefit from both shared aims and practical resources. This selection of short films represents some of the artists who made films during this period and is shown in British Art Week to complement the exhibition Art and The 60s.
