Learning on ScreenLight Years: The Film Diaries of Tim Cawkwell (1968-87/2015-18)
- Alternative title
- The Film Diaries of Tim Cawkwell
- Synopsis
- Drawing inspiration from the American Underground films reaching Britain at the time, The Light Years seeks to emulate the qualities of the diary, thus making the personal public. The work brings together a series of short films made on 8mm between 1968 and 1987 to create a single diary film in 25 sections with its own narrative arc as a story of self-education. The material was digitized, re-edited, and voice-over and sound added between 2015 and 2018.
