Helliwell will also be performing with one of his Hellisizers, the 
self-built instruments he uses to make the soundtracks to his films.

The screening takes place at 7pm, doors opening at 6.30pm. See below

The Films of Ian Helliwell - Screening
Wednesday 24 November 2010
Screening 7pm, doors and bar opening at 6.30pm
For tickets and details: http://www.lighthouse.org.uk/whatson/ianhelliwell.htm

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).
