Super
8 films and performance by John Porter

House, Queen Street, Leeds | 7.30pm | £5/£4 (advance
booking essential)
 John
Porter, Still from Amusement Park, 1978/9
John Porter has been a filmmaker, performer, photographer and writer
since 1968. Known in his native Toronto as the king of Super 8,
he has made more than 300 short films, mostly Super 8, and has performed
more than 70 solo shows internationally. Many of his films are silent,
made in series (Camera Dances, crowd portraits, local histories,
rituals, toy stories), and he shows his camera originals (no copies).
Often while projecting he performs live in the audience, in front
of the screen, or while hand-holding the small projector. His films
are dynamic, humourous and revealing. John Porter will be present
to perform and discuss his work.
Places are limited and booking is
essential. Please email info (at) lumen.org.uk to reserve a seat.
