Textual Vision
A screening of short films, videos and animations that use poems, rhymes and
language as inspiration. These films share an interest in developing an organic
relationship between words and vision as opposed to reflective or illustrative.
The effect is unusual, sometimes humorous, often visually stunning and always
highly original. Screening includes the 2003 Cannes award winner, Love
is the Law.
Next screening of this program will be at the hat factory, Luton on Thursday 2nd November 2006 at 7pm.
