Often compared to Jacques Rivette and Éric Rohmer, Hamaguchi has, in time, developed an increasingly-defined and distinctive style of his own, crafting moving, many-layered, three-dimensional films that deal first-hand with fiction. Curated by Ross McDonnell, this programme is the first UK retrospective of this prolific filmmaker, and a rare opportunity to explore a uniquely-thrilling body of work.

It is 10 years since the artist, filmmaker and animator Robert Breer died and his impact on experimental animation practice is greater than ever. After Images presents a range of work by contemporary animation artists who have built on Breer’s myriad formal and conceptual innovations, taking his lead into unexpected new directions.

Rich in atmospheric texture and visionary intent, this collection of feature-length and short films explores how faith, myth and belief have shaped the landscape and the experience of those who live within it, often foretelling disasters to come.
