UNRAVEL

Unravel came to The Museum of Club Culture
on Saturday 15th January 11 - 4pm.
Winner of the Deutsche Bank Award for Art
at the Royal College of Art 2010, Unravel is an epic project that will create a hand painted film that correlates in length with the 874 miles between John O'Groats and Land's End - taking each metre between these two edges of mainland Britain as a ratio to equal one frame of 16mm film.
In collaboration with over twenty national and international film festivals across England, Scotland and Wales Unravel are holding touring workshops aiming to amass an epic sixteen hour film that will be created and manipulated by hand, by a diverse demographic of the people of Britain. Formed by Maria Anastassiou and Chris Paul Daniels whilst studying at the Royal College of Art, Unravel is also comprised of OKO Lab of Leeds (Mark Pickles and Jo Byrne) and, Manchester based, Kelvin Brown.

Captain Zip's Video Trip

Thursday 25th November, 2010. 7pm

Captain Zip introduced his films

Phil Munnoch aka Captain Zip has made
some 200 films on 8mm and Super 8 since he was a boy in the 1960s, ranging from records of events taking place in 1960s London to recent films of London’s S&M scene.

Munnoch/Captain Zip had become involved in London’s punk scene and decided to start filming it for posterity. He reports spending every spare weekend filming on the Kings Road, where this footage was taken. While the punk scene was the subject of much television reportage and some independent film making, 'The Captain Zip Video Trip' is unusual in focussing exclusively on the everyday grassroots punk scene from the viewpoint of those directly involved. These vibrant time capsules of one of the most colourful explosions of expression the streets of England have witnessed were largely edited in-camera and have become an important social history resource enabling an inspiring form of time travel to a less politically censored age.

Captain Zip's films are a part of The British Film Institute National Film and Television archive.
