The first of an ongoing collaboration between the Experimental Film Club and the IFI. Silent Q explores the deconstruction of television in the comedy of Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers and director Richard Lester in the 1950s, placing it in relation to Dada silent cinema and the subsequent avant-garde scene of New York in the early 1970s. The programme includes films by Jonas Mekas, Richard Lester, Rene Claire and Francis Picabia and will be introduced by Alan Lambert, EFC.
