Beyond analysis, description, exegesis. With an impertinent, unprecedented, truly radical ease, he goes beyond the structured, intelligent, intelligible words that could be uttered on his films. So much oratorical precaution to arrive at this: all I want to announce \u2013 yes, as good news, a last-minute surprise \u2013 is that the death of cinema is temporarily postponed, and that there is still a filmmaker.\u201d \u2013 Louis Skorecki, \u201cDwoskin: le dernier cin\u00e9aste\u201d, Cahiers du cin\u00e9ma, July\u2013August 1982<\/p>\n<p>Winner of the 1982 Prix L\u2019Age d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n<p>Outside In will be introduced by Allan Sutherland, author of the landmark book Disabled We Stand, published in the year the film was made.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Allan Sutherland is a writer, performer, disability arts activist and leading historian of disability arts. In 1981, with Stephen Dwoskin, he programmed for the National Film Theatre \u2018Carry On Cripple\u2019, a season of feature films about disability, the UK\u2019s first such. He created the Chronology of Disability Arts and, with Tony Heaton, developed the thinking behind what would become the National Disability Arts Collection and Archive.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"letter-spacing: 0.08px;\">Buy tickets from <a href=\"https:\/\/whatson.bfi.org.uk\/Online\/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=outsideinintro\" class=\"broken_link\">BFI Southbank<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"Page__heading\"><strong>Experimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin season<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"Page__description\">A unique and challenging filmmaker whose themes include disability, sexuality, diaspora, and memory.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Dwoskin arrived in London from New York in 1964, aged 25, with a trunk of 16mm films shot in the milieu of Andy Warhol and Jonas Mekas. He became known for a series of films in which the camera\u2019s unblinking gaze is returned by his female subjects. Laura Mulvey wrote that he \u2018opened a completely new perspective for me on cinematic voyeurism\u2019. In the mid-70s, Dwoskin turned his gaze on his own body, disabled in childhood by polio, before making a number of personal documentaries about disability and diaspora. In the 2000s, with his mobility severely impaired, he embraced the possibilities of digital technology to return to the underground and the erotic obsessions that powered his extraordinary 50-year career.<\/p>\n<p>Rachel Garfield and Henry K Miller, co-programmers<\/p>\n<p>For details of the entire programme, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/whatson.bfi.org.uk\/Online\/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=stephendwoskin&amp;BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::context_id=\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>Experimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23462 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/research-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/02\/dwoskino-season-01-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part of Experimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin, a series of film screenings and talks at the BFI Southbank from 1-24 February Outside In + intro by author Allan Sutherland Monday 07&#8230;<a class=\"read-more\" href=\"&#104;&#116;&#116;&#112;&#115;&#58;&#47;&#47;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#101;&#97;&#114;&#99;&#104;&#46;&#114;&#101;&#97;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#46;&#97;&#99;&#46;&#117;&#107;&#47;&#115;&#99;&#114;&#101;&#101;&#110;&#45;&#119;&#111;&#114;&#107;&#45;&#103;&#114;&#111;&#117;&#112;&#47;&#50;&#48;&#50;&#50;&#47;&#48;&#50;&#47;&#48;&#52;&#47;&#100;&#119;&#111;&#115;&#107;&#105;&#110;&#111;&#45;&#111;&#117;&#116;&#115;&#105;&#100;&#101;&#45;&#105;&#110;&#45;&#105;&#110;&#116;&#114;&#111;&#45;&#98;&#121;&#45;&#97;&#117;&#116;&#104;&#111;&#114;&#45;&#97;&#108;&#108;&#97;&#110;&#45;&#115;&#117;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#108;&#97;&#110;&#100;&#47;\">Read More ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":469,"featured_media":1298,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[37,54,36],"class_list":["post-1297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","tag-henry-k-miller","tag-rachel-garfield","tag-stephen-dwoskin"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 -
