LYING AND LIARS
TEXT, LANGUAGE AND THE MOVING IMAGE - SUMMER SCHOOL

A Collective event at Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Collective has organised a unique, two-day Summer School and screening event to coincide with Mick Peter's exhibition, Lying and Liars, which opens at Collective on 2 August.
The programme takes the work of British avant-garde novelist and filmmaker B.S. Johnson as its starting point and will concentrate on the relationship between text, language and the moving image.
The school will include six individual sessions; a combination of workshops, screenings and discussions, culminating in a special evening programme of film, Lying and Liars on Film, on Friday 3 August, curated by Mick Peter with writer/curator Steven Cairns. The Summer School will also include a practical writing workshop and a look at the history of text in moving image along with a session by Mick Peter.
