51zero/voyager is pleased to invite you to two special events with celebrated filmmaker Tony Hill, where he will present his pioneering films and groundbreaking filmmaking techniques. Internationally renowned, Hill makes experimental short films that are somewhere between sculpture and cinema. To create his visually challenging and timelessly beautiful imagery, he develops his own camera rigs, ingeniously using mirrors and unusual lenses, and sometimes humorous vantage points to make us rethink our assumptions about perspective, gravity, scale and movement.
Event One
Talk and discussion with Tony Hill and curator Keith Whittle
University of Kent, Wednesday 24 February, 6:00-9:00pm
Presented by Tony Hill, the talk will explore his unique film production techniques highlighting the formalistic qualities and contexts at play in his work. The talk will be followed by discussion with curator Keith Whittle exploring Hill’s aesthetic and conceptual approach and the research and production processes involved in the making of his films.
