EP.16 - Bristol Experimental Expanded Film.

BEEF Ident from BEEF Bristol on Vimeo.

It was so good to travel to Bristol and chat to some of the members of BEEF earlier this year.  Established in 2015 they describe themselves as "a film and sound collective with an analogue heart" and offer a whole range of services and opportunities to artists within the area.  This includes screenings, performances, exhibitions, residencies, and film & sound workshops.  Their recent Low Light 16mm Film Contact Printing Workshop offered participants the chance to explore the 'creative potential of darkness as a material for making art' and was run by BEEF (and former London Film-Makers' Co-op) member Vicky Smith who you will hear from in this episode.  

​We also hear from Beef member Sam Francis on how the collective was formed and the importance of having an 'art' family and member Laura Phillips on collaborating within the collective and their expanded cinema and screenings at the Supernormal Festival.
