Speaker<\/strong>: Dr Steve Presence<\/a>
\nTitle:<\/strong> Organising counter-cultures: challenges of structure, organisation and sustainability in the Independent Filmmakers Association and the Radical Film Network
\nDate and time:\u00a0<\/strong>Wednesday 16th May, 1pm-2pm
\nHosted by:<\/strong> Dr Anandi Ramamurthy<\/a><\/p>\n

The Radical Film Network (RFN) was conceived in Bristol and established in London in 2013 in recognition of the growth of organisations working in progressive and experimental film culture in the UK. Since then the RFN has grown rapidly, and now consists of more than one hundred organisations across four continents, from artists’ studios and production collectives to archives, co-ops, distributors, film festivals and exhibition venues.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0seminar reflects on the RFN\u2019s development in relation to the Independent Filmmakers Association (IFA), a London-based organisation which sought to represent politically-engaged and aesthetically innovative film culture in the 1970s and 1980s, and which largely inspired the formation of the RFN. Despite almost four decades between them, many of the questions and challenges facing the RFN today were addressed by those involved with the IFA: What constitutes oppositional film culture? How should a counter-cultural network be organised? What roles should different actors \u2013 filmmakers, academics, activists, the state \u2013 play within that culture?<\/p>\n

Taking into account the key contextual differences between the IFA and RFN, the seminar will explore how some of these questions are being negotiated today and what lessons the history of the IFA holds for those involved in building contemporary radical film cultures.<\/p>\n
