Past Event
Join an evening of film and discussion dedicated to Norman McLaren, one of Britain’s most important abstract film artists.
Presented by East End Film Festival, this retrospective explores McLaren’s use of music, dance and movement in his work. Panel discussions hosted by Kate Wilson (producer and strategic consultant for film and arts projects) explore these themes, as well as funding for artist’s moving image practice.
Speakers include Andrew Simpson (EEFF Head Programmer) and Camilla Mantovani (filmmaker).
Commissioned by East End Film Festival, this event is part of the EEFF’s Arts Council England funded Artists’ Moving Image Programme which includes newly commissioned work to premiere at Psych Space on Friday 24th June at the Oval Space.
Supported by Arts Council England.
