TEXT, LANGUAGE AND THE MOVING IMAGE

LYING AND LIARS
TEXT, LANGUAGE AND THE MOVING IMAGE - SUMMER SCHOOL
1 & 2 August, 12pm - 6.30pm
3 August, 3pm - 8pm
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.

Daily Programme

Wednesday 1 August, 12pm - 6.30pm
Mark Titchner
Artist Mark Titchner will use his own work and practice to discuss ideas of text and the moving.

Ross Birrell
Artist and lecturer at Glasgow School of Art, Ross Birrell will address language, text and the moving image in a discussion about the role of music, poetry and philosophy in his recent film works. In a discussion of the seen and unseen, the spoken and unspoken, the nameable and the unnameable Ross will draw upon works by Vito Acconci, Samuel Beckett, Jean-Luc Godard, Joao Penalva and Andrei Tarkovsky.

Thursday 2 August, 12pm - 6.30pm
Peter Mackay
Writer Peter Mackay will lead a practical writing workshop, using the work of B.S. Johnson and his contemporaries as inspiration.

Friday 3 August, 3pm - 8pm
Mick Peter will discuss the themes and ideas in his new exhibition and screening event - Lying and Liars followed by the screening event Lying and Liars on Film.

The capacity for this one-off Summer School is very limited so early booking is recommended.
