Five films between Black Box and White Cube confront the past and ask, in diverse ways, “What remains?” The directors in this film programme employ a range of very unusual techniques and aesthetics, and some of their works have been shown to great acclaim in art exhibitions. Taken together, these films, some of them award winning, give viewers an insight into the current state of international artist films.
