Dear Frameworkers,
This is a quick note to the list to announce that my new book Experimental
Cinema: Structures, Systems and Strategies (London: BFI/Bloomsbury) is out and
available. See here for a synopsis and the table of contents, etc.
The book includes a link to an accompanying website so that readers can see the
work that's discussed – in preview form or as documentation – making
experimental cinema as accessible as possible, just as intended by its
practitioners.
>From the back cover:
Simon Payne's book is that rare thing, a work of serious scholarship that is
also a joy to read. Reviewing the work of many of the UK's major film and video
artists, he draws on his deep knowledge of the arts to make new connections and
question many long-held assumptions. A superb achievement. - David Curtis,
author of Experimental Cinema (1971) and Artists Film (2021)
This is one of the most accessible texts on experimental cinema, written in a
lively and highly engaging style. Payne's unique perspective as a filmmaker,
curator and scholar brings historical depth and analytical precision to key
works of the British avant-garde. - Kim Knowles, Senior Lecturer in Alternative
and Experimental Film, Aberystwyth University
***For anyone in London or nearby, there will be a launch event and screening
at the BFI on the 18th June.*** See here for details.
Best wishes,
Simon
