We are pleased to be partnering with Cambridge Film Festival and microcinema to bring a programme of artists’ films featuring new and historical, national and international work to Kettle’s Yard.
Join us for a screening of a programme of short films by artists Daniel & Clara from their Studio Diary Series (2018–19). Presented by the artists.
The Studio Diaries began as a series of 100 short films created by Daniel & Clara throughout 2018. Over the course of seven months, these short films capture the workings of the artists’ daily creative practice, but more than simply documenting, the Studio Diariesare creative thought in action. Each film is an investigation into the language of moving images, exploring how narrative and meaning are constructed through the relationship between sound and image.
For this screening Daniel & Clara will be presenting a selection of shorts taken from the first 100 films followed by the latest instalment SD103: Snakes & Ladders. This is an experimental video essay responding to the films and writing of British feminist film theorist Laura Mulvey, and film theorist and filmmaker Peter Wollen.
FREE, booking required.
