LUX Book Fair 2023: Print Print Print

Join us for our first winter book fair celebrating independent publications, zines, poetry and films, curated by Mine Kaplangı, Anita Wolska-Kaslow and Sun Park.

The afternoon will showcase publisher tables, archive displays, film screenings by independent artists joining us through Open Call, and an open mic for poetry, spoken word, readings, and sound experiments, bringing together contributions from our friends and collaborators.

Our festival, titled ‘Print Print Print’ draws inspiration from artist, filmmaker and writer Lis Rhodes’ contribution to the LUX publication ‘Shoot Shoot Shoot‘ that traces the first decade of the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative (now known as LUX). In her written piece, Rhodes describes the process behind her cameraless film ‘Dresden Dynamo‘ (1971) as ‘print print print – I didn’t fire a shot’.

In honouring Rhodes’ politically-charged filmmaking which deconstructs the cinematic norms, the festival welcomes knowledge production and dissemination through books, films, and everything in between.
