Our guest speaker for March is James Holcombe, he makes films and performances colliding his knowledge of celluloid and it's coming into being, with a healthy disregard for the means by which it does so. Most recently he has found this a useful prism through which to view English public executions, as well as the development and failure of American sound on film technology. James runs the experimental DIY film laboratory in Frome.

Attendees will be able to get involved with 16mm experimental film production activity.
