king of super 8

john porter in person!

John Porter has made over 200 Super 8 films in the last three decades. While neither a careerist nor an aggressive self-promoter, John's work has been created largely with fun in mind as he moves comfortably between time-lapse public event records, wild 'camera dance' and structural experiments, and his unforgettable live interactive Super 8 performances.

His modesty of means - working exclusively in Super 8 and with no budget - has created an incredibly imaginative arsenal of work. We are truly thrilled to present (in collaboration with Pleasure Dome in Toronto), two nights of work with John Porter here in person. Tuesday night will feature John presenting a range of his finest films, many of which incorporate everything from a bicycle on stage to a hand-held projector panning around the room. Titles to be featured include Animal in Motion, Scanning, Revolving Restaurant, Shootout with Rebecca,

Cinefuge, 3 Speed Gear and the fascinating show-and-tell record of Porter's plastic toy collection Toy Catalogue.

Wednesday night will feature a whole slew of brand new works produced in the last year and highlighted by How To Make A Movie, a performance involving the live shooting, developing and projecting of a Super 8 film in typical Porter style (only ever performed twice before!) with full audience participation. If you come to the first night you'll definitely be back on Wednesday - if you come to the second night only, you'll be sorry you missed the

first!
