OtherFilm presents from the UK…
Guy Sherwin and Lynn Loo – Australian / NZ tour 2008 (Brisbane 7-9 August)

Like a blast of cinematic conceptual art, film artist Guy Sherwin's hand-crafted films explore the elements of film's grain, tone, flicker, sound, light and space. Beautiful, enigmatic, and sensual, these experimental films question our perception of 'light moving in time.' Together with partner Lynn Loo, Guy creates cinematic environments of incredible purity and beauty. OtherFilm regulars will be familiar with the awesomeness of the London Filmmakers’ Co-op, where Guy’s filming began. If you’re into artists’ film – do NOT miss the opportunity to see one of the great film artists on his first Australian visit!
