Recent film and video work from Britain forms the basis of this next selection, which ranges across an array of themes and styles: from deft post-production trickery to intimate and confrontational to-camera confession. As such, the programme provides an intriguing snapshot of the current preoccupations of UK video art and experimental film, and finds that it still retains much of its ability to move, inspire and shock. Jo Ann Kaplan's Story of I and Mike Stubbs and Roland Denning's Gift, in particular, are enormously powerful and accomplished works which vividly capture the viewer's attention and reverberate long after in the mind's eye.


Programme 75 mins approx, includes:
HEADCASE Clio Barnard UK 1997
WITHDRAWAL George Barber UK 1997
GIFT Mike Stubbs & Roland Denning UK 1996
GO WEST, YOUNG MAN Keith Piper UK 1996
THE RITES OF RECLAMATION Kathleen Rogers UK 1996
STORY OF I Jo-Ann Kaplan UK 1997
