The Visible Press is a London-based independent imprint for books on cinema and writings by filmmakers, dedicated to producing high quality and lasting publications of writings that might not otherwise be available. Managed by film curators Mark Webber and María Palacios Cruz, Visible Press publications include volumes by filmmaker/ideologues Thom Andersen, Peter Gidal, Gregory J. Markopoulos and Lis Rhodes as well as the recent Afterimage Reader. Tonight’s screening recognizes two recent publications by The Visible Press: The Afterimage Reader and Lis Rhodes: Telling Invents Told.In celebration of these two publications, this mash-up program features works by two artists embodying the political and formalist poles of radical filmmaking, placing Jean-Luc Godard’s aggressively polemical, haranguing and rarely seen Marxist screed British Sounds (1969, co-directed with Jean-Henri Roger) in dialog with a selection of works by British filmmaker Lis Rhodes, including the early-1970s direct film works—Dresden Dynamo (1971) and Notes from Light Music (1975, a single-strip translation of the legendary double-screen Light Music, 1975)—and the cryptic and poetic essay film Light Reading (1978).
Presented by SF Cinematheque at The Lab.
