FLUXFILM PART 1 (1963–1970)

The IFI and Experimental Film Club present a rare 16mm screening of Fluxus films with accompanying live score.

This anthology of short films (ranging from 28 seconds to 10 minutes in length), were often shown looped or as part of Fluxus events and happenings. Included are works by Nam June Paik, Dick Higgins, George Maciunas, Yoko Ono, Chieko Shiomi, George Brecht and Robert Watts, all of which are characteristic of the ephemeral and playful humour of the Fluxus group. The films will be accompanied by live improvised electronic soundtrack performed by artists Russell Hart and Sven Anderson.

This is the first in a two-part programme curated by Eilís Lavelle who will introduce the event with Daniel Fitzpatrick (EFC).
