A tribute to the late great prince of the British Super 8 underground plus special guests, mystery films, a live music soundtrack and big prize bingo !
Nick Combe aka Arthur Lager was a percussion artiste who played with numerous bands from the late 1980s into the 21st century including Gallon Drunk, the Scientists, the Fezters, the Ponces and many more. He was also a Super 8 filmmaker who produced a series of spectacular sleazy psychedelic gems. As a tribute to his wild life we’ll be showing most of his films plus other Arthurnalia including a preview of a forthcoming biopic, work from his greatest influence Jeff Keen and a live soundtrack from Toby Winter and Ian White.
‘ the unholy love child of Frida Kahlo and Tommy Cooper...’ Andre Bazin
'His work has divorced itself from any emphasis on an intitial moment of ‘real’ performance, so that both presence and any interrogation of the status of the body dependent upon problematizing that have become wholly absorbed in a hermetic system of representation’ Iteration : The Journal of Art and the Moving Image, Vol. 31, No. 1 (Jan., 2009), pp. 98-112
