Helga Fanderl and Nicky Hamlyn will be present to introduce and discuss their work.
Helga Fanderl
Since 1986, Helga Fanderl has made over a thousand 8mm films that record encounters with events and images in the real world. She responds in an intuitive and highly concentrated way to the subjects in front of her lens, discovering cinematic rhythms and relationships in everyday life. Each of her films preserves and reflects the traces of its creation, as well as the sensations and emotions that she felt in the moment of shooting.

Nicky Hamlyn
Nicky Hamlyn’s 16mm films involve using the camera to explore his immediate environment, testing ideas about representation and the productive relationship between the lens, the frame and the form of his subject matter, which spans domestic, urban and rural spaces. His videos and expanded cinema pieces are equally rigorous, but the structures that he devises are always open in some respects and alive to the rewards of happenstance.
