Luke Fowler and Mark Fell’s new film revolves around the testimonies and collected documents linked to the complex and often contested history of Pavilion, Europe’s first feminist photography centre. To the editor of Amateur Photographer examines a radical shift in photography whilst also foregrounding the problems of presenting history through archival fragments and personal recollections.Operating out of former park premises in Leeds, Pavilion was formed in 1983 with the stated aim of being the first photography centre dedicated to representing and supporting the production of women’s photography. Against a backdrop of heightened social, political and economic conflicts, the Pavilion set about turning the prevailing patriarchal image culture inside-out. ~LUXRead More »

This grindhouse classic from Nick Phillips is perhaps the bleakest of his softcore output, combining the director’s favourite visuals; naturally endowed hippy-chicks in fetish wear, drug usage, and lesbianism, in a psychedelic sleaze-fest that proves both a turn on and downer. Shot in black and white, with an uncredited cast, the film follows heroin addict Jean and her inevitable misadventures in and out of the drug scene. Following a sleazy encounter with her thieving pusher she drifts off into the outside world where she meets clean cut Tad and soon after they become smitten with each other she swiftly introduces poor Tad to her junkie culture. Sex, drugs, sleaze and death backed by grooved out hippie beats and a borderline beatnik narrative are the order of the day in this freaked out cult curiosity.Read More »
