Duncan Reekie will present and perform a selection of work including early Super 8 films, recent digital video and the world premiere of a new performance. Reekie has been a malign influence on British Underground Cinema for over twenty years. He has produced a diverse body of work that explores a variety of styles, techniques and purpose, including narrative drama, scratching and colouring celluloid, multiple superimpositions, video collage and lyrical visions. He is perhaps most celebrated for his performance work which features projected images and scathing rhetoric that is often mistaken for irony.

Reekie has developed a mongrel praxis that refuses the institutional separation between theory and practice. It is subjective and chaotic, it is enmeshed in a complex system of political contingencies : he is an agent in the narrative. He is a founder member of the infamous Exploding Cinema Collective, a radical open access-screening group and he was the co-ordinator, producer and co-director of the international Underground feature film MALDOROR (2001) that has toured extensively throughout Europe and America. His highly acclaimed book ‘Subversion: The Definitive History of Underground Cinema’ was published by Wallflower Press in October 2007.
