Amidst the many terms used to define artists’ film and video, ‘personal film’ was amongst the earliest. These works explore how the personal is also political, opposed not only to mainstream cinema, but also radically challenging institutional and ideological structures; gender, sexuality, family, the state and the individual. The programme includes work by Martha Rosler, Sadie Benning, Kenneth Anger and Stuart Marshall. Curated and presented by Ian White.
