STAFF PICK
L’Education Sentimentale Jimmy Robert
Selected by our Director Benjamin Cook –
‘We have commissioned many films at LUX, all of which have a particular preciousness to me as projects born of working closely with a number of artists whose work I love and it is painfully difficult to choose just one. But for this I will propose Jimmy Robert’s 2005 short film L’Education Sentimentale, a film commissioned for our Artists Cinema series, a cinematic intervention where artists’ films would be produced on 35mm and cut into mainstream cinema programmes. Rather than taking on the scale of the large cinema screen Jimmy’s response was to work with a Super 8 printed within the 35mm frame introducing focused attention and intimacy into the auditorium creating a loving homage to his cultural influences, particularly the Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader.’
