Man Ray: Films by Photographers

This special programme brings together four silent films from the 1920s, created by pioneering photographers who turned their cameras towards motion. Featuring surrealist and experimental documentary works by Man Ray, Joris Ivens, and Ralph Steiner, <i>Films by Photographers</i> captures the rhythm of industry, everyday movement, and the strange beauty of light and the elements. Presented with new electronic scores by Glasgow-based audiovisual duo <i>The Spring Vexation</i>, these four captivating shorts reveal how photographic perspectives shaped some of the most inventive and atmospheric moving images of early cinema.
