Music for a While: The Films of Oliver Bancroft

We’re delighted to present a programme of Oliver Bancroft’s moving image works. Recognised as “one of the outstanding young painters of his generation” (Goldmark), Bancroft works across painting, print, photography, video and film. This programme is an opportunity to view his extensive work on 16mm film and video, starting with his early adventures in editing on a Steenbeck, to recent manipulations on digital platforms.
