The Films of Ian Helliwell - Screening
Wednesday 24 November 2010
Screening 7pm, doors and bar opening at 6.30pm

The second screening in the Hand Eye Visions programme of direct
animation focuses on the work of Brighton`s own Ian Helliwell. This
screening presents for the first time a retrospective of his direct
animation films, which were broadcast on ResoVision at Frieze Art
Fair last month.
Helliwell is an artist-filmmaker-musician. Having begun intuitively
at the start of the 1990s, he has experimented with a range of
techniques for creating images directly on super 8 film. His work is
distinctive, if not unique in that he also designs and builds his own
electronic instruments - Hellitrons and Hellisizers - which he uses
to make all the soundtracks of his films.
For anyone interested in colour, light and animation and the
synthesis of film and music, this programme promises to be both an
eye and an ear opener.
Lighthouse and Cine-City are proud to be collaborating on Hand Eye
Visions, a specially curated season of screenings, which explore the
practice of direct-filmmaking, where the filmmaker makes direct
contact with the filmstrip. This form of filmmaking has been made
famous by leading artists such as Len Lye and Stan Brakhage.
On the 21st, 24th and 27th of November, Lighthouse are showing
screenings curated by Brighton-based artist, filmmaker and musician,
Ian Helliwell, and on 2nd of December, we are welcoming the artistic
director of the British Film Institute, Eddie Berg, to Lighthouse 2
December).
