Masterclass: Rose Lowder

A special public lecture with French experimental filmmaker Rose Lowder, where she will present a selection of her films and discuss her practice.

Rose Lowder’s work brings together structural film, poetry and ecology. For several decades she has meticulously composed her films in-camera, frame by frame, interweaving a succession of images as the film strip passes the lens several times. The result when projected is an intense flicker of nature (her images are often those of the flowers and fields of Provence where she lives and works), an illusion of simultaneity.
Trained as a painter and sculptor in Lima, Peru, and London, Rose Lowder turned to filmmaking in 1977 after studying with Jean Rouch. Grounded in her interest in radical agriculture, colour theory and the landscapes of her adoptive home in the south of France, Lowder is committed to filmmaking as an ecological practice inseparable from her lifelong collecting and championing of non-commercial cinema. Lowder lives and works in Avignon, France.
