The Impossible Document - David Lamelas, David Thorne & Julia Meltzer

About

The Impossible Document asks, what are the limits of documentary? And what lies beyond them when a filmmaker tries to record the invisible, the forgotten or the impossible? Media Art Bath is delighted to invite Mike Sperlinger, Assistant Director of LUX, London to present the second programme of The MAB Film Exercise. Mike's programme, The Impossible Document, will include rarely seen works by David Lamelas, David Thorne & Julia Meltzer. David Thorne & Julia Meltzer's It's not my memory of it: three recollected documents (2003, 25 mins) examines three peculiar pieces of evidence: shredded classified documents from the American embassy in Iran reconstructed by Islamic revolutionaries; a long-suppressed CIA video of the burial at sea of Soviet sailors in the 1970s; and a blurry photograph from a 2002 missile strike in Yemen. David Lamelas' first film, A Study of Relationships Between Inner and Outer Space (1969, 20 mins) attempts to map the context of his gallery exhibition at the Camden Art Centre, from the city that surrounds it to its place in a larger cosmos. THE MAB FILM EXERCISE: Exercising ideas in and around artists' film. Media Art Bath presents a new monthly screening of artists' film in which invited curators will present and discuss a programme (or single piece) of moving image work. The MAB Film Exercise is a place for discussing art and the ideas it generates, please join us!
