It Matters What screens at TIFF Lightbox as part of Film Talks: a touring programme of experimental cinema
“Film Talks: 15 Conversations on Experimental Cinema, edited by Andrew Vallance and Simon Payne, is a collection of unique conversations on experimental cinema, involving a range of international film and video makers from the United Kingdom, Europe, and North America. The book represents a snapshot of diverse ways that several practitioners have come to think about the field of experimental cinema in relation to other art forms, moving image culture at large, as well as wider social issues. This touring film programme features more than 20 16mm films and video works by several of the artists featured in Film Talks, drawing out new ideas and connections that span different visions of cinema.
Andrew Vallance and Simon Payne will be present to introduce the screenings. Copies of Film Talks will be available for purchase. For more details of the book, please see here.”
