Two avant-garde programmes highlight some of cinema's exhilarating provocations from 1921 to 1991.

Programme One begins with David Rimmer's Beaubourg Boogie Woogie, a whimsical romp through Paris' Centre George Pompidou and its famous modern art collection. The film summons its own light play from the swirls of colour and brushstrokes from the gallery walls. Includes famous works by Bruce Conner, Marie Menken and Richard Serra.
