- Synopsis
- BLAST was the manifesto of the Vorticist movement, whose name was coined in early 1914 by Ezra Pound. The co-signatories of the manifesto, among them Gaudier-Brzeska, Pound, Wadsworth and Wyndham Lewis, were determined to disrupt the Edwardian art establishment and to create an alternative artistic vocabulary. The film attempts to draw attention to work of the Vorticists and to capture something of the spirit and atmosphere of the movement.
