As part of the nationwide Scala Beyond season, Little Joe, a magazine about cinema and queers, mostly, is teaming up with LUX, the international arts agency and artists’ moving image archive, to commemorate and celebrate the life and legacy of Amos Vogel, founder of the legendary film society Cinema 16 and author of the indispensable guide Film as a Subversive Art, who passed away in April 2012. In tribute to a true champion of radical cinema, we will present selected programmes of films from Vogel’s book throughout the night, including works by Kenneth Anger, Maya Deren, Dusan Makavejev, Paul Sharits, Carolee Schneemann and Stan Brakhage, many screening from original 35mm and 16mm prints.
Refreshments will be available throughout the night, with free tea and coffee for all ticket holders.
