The 16th edition of microcinema, a weekend of screenings of artists’ films and talks, will take place on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 October 2017. While part of the Cambridge Film Festival, this year’s microcinema will for the first time have its own dedicated venue at Downing College, Cambridge.
This year’s programme is organised around the theme of ‘Archive and Memory’ and will encompass both contemporary and historical work. Highlights include a newly commissioned film by the 2016 winner of the Margaret Tait award, Kate Davis, entitled Charity (2017), alongside a rare screening of Tait’s seminal work On the Mountain (1974), and a newly restored work by the avant-garde filmmaker Margaret Raspé, Blue on White Edges and Frames (1979). Works by Cordelia Swann, Sarah Wood, Gair Dunlop, Sam Ashby, Luke Fowler and Dick Jewell complete the programme.
Screenings will be held over the weekend in the Howard Theatre of Downing College. All sessions will be free of charge and feature an introduction and artist Q&A with James Mackay, programme curator. A round-table discussion about how artists are exploring the relationship between image and memory will take place on Sunday afternoon at the Heong Gallery.
As part of the programme, an installation of a new photo and film work by William E. Jones, Fall into Ruin (2017), will be shown at the Heong Gallery from 19 – 23 October.
