Synopsis:

LUX and Re:Voir are proud to announce the release of the DVD Shoot Shoot Shoot, the first time that works from this defining period in British artists' filmmaking have been made available on DVD or video. The 1960s and 1970s were groundbreaking decades in which independent filmmakers challenged cinematic convention. In England, much of the innovation took place at the London Film-Makers' Co-operative, an artist-led organisation that incorporated a distribution agency, cinema space and film workshop. Within this unique laboratory, filmmakers were able to control every aspect of the creative process, and the physical production of a film the printing and processing became vital to its form and content. Many of the films made at the LFMC explored the physical nature of the film material, using production processes that shaped the form and content of the final works. Extras: Contains a 48 page bilingual English / French booklet written by project curator Mark Webber, with a foreword by A. L. Rees (author of A History of Experimental Film and Video BFI, 1999).
