THE TIMES BFI 53rd LONDON FILM FESTIVAL
14-29 October 2009

The London Film Festival’s annual weekend dedicated to artists’ film
and video will take place on 24-25 October 2009.

The programme presents a varied selection of international works
ranging from the contemporary ethnography of Mirza/Butler to Jim
Trainor’s witty, naïve animation of ancient civilisations. Gustav
Deutsch introduces “Film Ist. a girl & a gun”, a battle of the sexes
told through footage from early cinema, and a special event featuring
new prints of films by Hollis Frampton complements the recent
publication of his collected writings.

Established filmmakers Lewis Klahr, Mara Mattuschka and Matthias
Müller are shown alongside younger artists Paul Abbott, Jana Debus,
and Laida Lertxundi, who are screening in the festival for the first
time. Continuous installations by Laure Prouvost and Victor Alimpiev
will be presented in the BFI Southbank Studio.

Curated by Mark Webber for The Times BFI 53rd London Film Festival.
