After a short hiatus, Olsen returns to the Hyde Park Picture House with a more regular series of Sunday afternoon screenings. For our next run, we've invited different artists and curators to guest programme part or all of each event, thereby continually offering fresh outlooks on the field of artists' film and video.
For this event, ANDREW LAMPERT (New York artist and film archivist at Anthology Film Archives) has selected some rarely screened videos from the 80s and 90s by the legendary GEORGE KUCHAR, who passed away in early September. The videos will be interspersed with live music performances by MICHAEL FLOWER (of Flower/Corsano Duo).

George Kuchar was a leading star of the American underground cinema ever since he first picked up an 8mm camera as a teenager in the 1950s. Working with his twin brother, Mike, and later on his own, George produced hundreds of films and videos that are as inventive as they are insane. One of the forefathers of camp, and an early inspiration for John Waters among many others, Kuchar is perhaps best known for his 1966 film, 'Hold Me While I'm Naked.'

You effort to support filmmaking industry is wonderful. I believe these workshops encourage and support young filmmakers to learn new techniques and produce their own ideas.
