Ilam Actual, Luke Fowler, with Alex Hetherington and Lee Patterson, 2023, colour and sound, 16mm, 2023.

Screening postponed.

Each single-shot film runs continuously for 40 seconds with no editing, reflecting the methods used in ‘actuality films’ – a type of proto-documentary inspired by early cinema pioneers in which a silent film is composed within a single, unedited take.

Luke Fowler interviewed by David Toop for This is Tomorrow. Read the piece here.
