H2EEF Spotlight: "Look, Make, Learn, Teach" with Richard Kerr

Richard Kerr is a giant in Canadian experimental film. His works span from early personal projects such as On Land, Over Water: Six Stories to his fiercely urgent trilogy of films with a focus across the border to the United States: The Last Days of Contrition (1986), Cruel Rhythm (1991) and Field Trip (2021). His output also includes formally radical works of "accelerated cinema" featuring, as you'll hear, Richard's theory of "Total Movement" in films such as Plein Air and House Arrest.

An all-round artist, Richard's work also includes photography, painting and "film weavings", many of which you can view online. This episode takes a broad look at Richard's career, with a particular focus on the "American" trilogy, which has been released on Blu-Ray along with a short film and a host of extra features by Stephen Broomer at Black Zero.
