"Electric Eyes" was a touring package of recent British Video tapes distributed by the Film and Video Umbrella. Aiming to group together tapes following broadly similar themes or narrative and aesthetic approaches, the tapes map out the underlying trends and variety of practices in current British video art. The full package consists of four programmes: those selected for screening at the Video Positive '89 festival, were the two most sharply contrasting.


The "Electric Eyes" programmes will be screened together with two programmes of local work: 'Reflections From The 'Pool'. This programme is introduced by the essay by Jacqueline Morrissey that follows this listing.
