Jamie Shovlin

Whitechapel, London

A documentary about a film that never was, 'Rough Cut' by artist Jamie Shovlin explores the making of a 1970s exploitation film, 'Hiker Meat'; an imaginary concept by fictitious Italian director Jesus Rinzoli. This film-within-a-film operates as both affectionate homage to and academic deconstruction of the exploitation genre, creating a Frankenstein-esque cut-and-paste of the era's concerns and fascinations, emphasising the archetypes and mythologies of this often critically maligned period of film-making. Described by director Shovlin as a 'metamentary', stripping back the making, unmaking and remaking of both the film and the idea, as a kind of ode to the power of imagination. Followed by a Q&A with Jamie Shovlin and Curator Omar Kholeif.
