New Zealand – This is experimental

Experimental or avant-garde film is set to take centre-stage at the Film Archive: This is Experimental: A festival of experimental film and film makers. The event, organised by Film Archive Exhibitions manager Mark Williams, will be an exciting three days of screenings, talks and a workshop presented by and featuring local and international guests. This includes Guy Sherwin, one of the pre-eminent British film artists of the last 40 years; the films of Len Lye, New Zealand’s most internationally successful film maker, and Michael Nicholson, who will be presenting his homage to the abstract expressionist paintings of Wassily Kandinsky.
