Filmmaker GUY SHERWIN in Montreal!

Dear Friends,

UK film artist GUY SHERWIN will make his long-awaited debut appearance in Montreal for a series of performance, screenings and lectures beginning on September 19, 2006. A key figure in British experimental cinema for more than three decades, Sherwin continues to make films that offer glimpses into a stunningly beautiful and poetic universe through the quintessential properties of cinema: light moving in time.

Guy Sherwin's films have been widely exhibited in England and abroad, as part of 'Film as Film' Hayward Gallery 1979, 'Live in Your Head' Whitechapel Gallery 2000, 'Shoot Shoot Shoot' Tate Modern 2002, 'A Century of Artists' Film & Video' Tate Britain 2003/4; also shown on BBC2, Channel 4 and Arte TV France. Solo shows include San Francisco Cinematheque, LUX London, International Film Festival Rotterdam and Image Forum Tokyo.
