Screening
Robert Beavers and Gregory Markopoulos | Melbourne

Cinematic Exploration of 16mm films

Wed, 08.11.2023
7:00 PM - 22:00 Melbourne Cinémathèque

This screening explores a selection of 16mm film-works created by two renowned experimental filmmakers. Robert Beavers and Gregory Markopoulos share a deep dedication to film as both a material and poetic medium. Encompassing both the minute and the epic, their works speak of their own material and manual processes; of the personal, creative pursuit of the filmmaker.

Beavers and Markopoulos are committed to screening their films in the unique environment of the cinema, using the physical format of 16mm film. As such, their films have rarely been screened beyond Europe and America. This event provides Australian audiences with a unique chance to view restored and preserved film prints.

The films shown will include Robert Beavers‘ Pitcher of Coloured Light, The Suppliant and From the Notebook of… and Gregory Markopoulos’ Twice a Man, Ming Green, Bliss and Sorrows.


For Tickets see Melbourne Cinémathèque.


The event is held in collaboration with ACMI.
