Duncan Reekie : Retrospective
Saturday, December 3, 2011
The Horse Hospital,
Colonnade, Bloomsbury, London WC1N 1JD
7:30pm unti
As part of the London Underground Film Festival, 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 which 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.
