Above: Sketch for ‘Line Describing a Cone’ (Anthony McCall, 1973)

‘Line Describing a Cone … exists only in the present: the moment of projection. It refers to nothing beyond this real time. The form of attention required on the part of the viewer is unprecedented. No longer is one viewing position as good as any other. For this film every viewing position presents a different aspect.‘ – Anthony McCall

David Gladwell Q&A, 8 April 2015

We’re very pleased to welcome director David Gladwell to The Barn on Wednesday 8 April to introduce his incomparable film from 1975, ‘Requiem for a Village’ as well as an earlier work, ‘An Untitled Film’, which together plot a good deal of Gladwell’s preoccupations with the rural; the passing of time and the treatment of history; and the discord at the heart of the bucolic.

The films are also interesting to view in light of his work as editor on Lindsay Anderson’s films ‘If….’ and ‘O Lucky Man!’, where his distinctive process was instrumental in creating a sense of threat and disorder - but also of a heightened or altered sense of reality.

The screening represents a very rare chance to see the films in the cinema, but an even rarer opportunity to meet the director himself. Book now here.
