'On General Release' explores the origins of avant-garde film in Britain. It will present a rare opportunity to see a wide range of avant-garde films made, or shown, by artists and filmmakers during the crucial and influential years 1968-1972. It will include the art school film experiments which laid the groundwork for the explosion of artists' films during the 1970s, as well as work by international filmmakers and artists whose work shaped the idea of avant-garde film at the time. The exhibition will be comprised of four thematic programmes: Performance, Art Schools, The Gallery, and Documentary. The programmes bring together artists and filmmakers from Fluxus, Structuralist and Conceptual practices, reflecting the creative vitality and diversity of the period. 'On General Release' represents the full spectrum of experimentation, from classics such as Kenneth Anger's 'Invocation of My Demon Brother' and Carolee Schneeman's 'In Quest of Meat Joy' to Lutz Becher's early experimentation with electronic imagery, and David Crosswaite's virtuoso technical experiments.

Institute of Visual Culture is easily accessible from London. Trains to Cambridge leave from Kings Cross Station and take only 45 minutes.
