LFMC50: The Hands Are Also Hers

Our celebration of 50 years of the London Film-makers’ Co-operative continues with this evening programme by Marina Vishmidt.
“A line linking through temporalities of re-production made of money and nervous tissue, defining access, possibility and history through the imprint of gendered and raced work, and inversions of work. The material conditions of space, and actual space as the condition of any historical memory. And in terms of marking (a) time, debt is a lapsed measure: it rules as extraction, but also it’s communal luxury whose owners are untraceable.”
Programmed by Marina Vishmidt on the invitation of Lis Rhodes (LFMC Cinema Organiser 1975-76), with a reading by poet Christina Chalmers.
