The Liberated Film Club: Jonathan Meades

One of a series of upcoming surprise additions to the nothing-if-not-surprising Liberated Film Club yearlong programme: the writer and filmmaker Jonathan Meades will curate a weekend of ? at Close-Up Film Centre. Saturday September 6 and Sunday September 7 will witness two five-hour blocks of motion picture curated and annotated by Meades, who describes his selection “an exercise in memory and false memory.”

Meades has written and performed in some 60 televisual essays, mostly on architecture, identity and tyranny. His most recent fiction is Empty Wigs, a 900-page assault weapon.
