Curated by Chris Townsend, Lecturer in Media Arts, Royal Holloway, University of London. He writes: 'Tacita Dean's work provides a concentrated meditation upon the formal and narrative organisation of film, with an unusual emphasis upon the interaction of image and sound, and with the chance encounter as a common device. I've chosen films which in their complexity (or daring simplicity) also challenge the conventional trajectories of cinema.'
