For this month’s special BFI Experimenta, award-winning camerawoman Susan Stein personally presents a selection of her formally playful, radical experimental films from the 1970s and 80s. Incorporating collage, paint on the celluloid and discursive explorations, G, She Said and Tracks were created at a time of significant change in the way alternative film was made and how production and distribution were organised. Stein also selects other work from the period as a way of honouring women’s voices, and reflecting on what has been possible through the creative manipulation of the image.
