Since he first began making films in the regular 8mm format during the 1960s, Ernie Gehr has developed into one of the most singular artists in the cinematic avant-garde. Considered ‘a filmmaker’s filmmaker’ by peers and critics such as J. Hoberman and P. Adams Sitney, Gehr produces lucid, rigorous, radiant films and digital media works that address the fundamental qualities of film as film, and the anxieties of cinematic representation. Gehr is recognized as one of the great cinema poets of the city, and has consistently sought dynamic new relationships between space and perception through his examination of the urban field. This series of five programmes includes work ranging from his 1970 shock corridor masterpiece, Serene Velocity, to dynamic city films such as Side/Walk/Shuttle (1991), and his most recent work in digital video. Don’t miss this long overdue London survey of Gehr’s transformative films.
