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=\"><strong>Experimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\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 The Sun and the Moon + intro by writer Paul&#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;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#45;&#115;&#117;&#110;&#45;&#97;&#110;&#100;&#45;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#45;&#109;&#111;&#111;&#110;&#45;&#105;&#110;&#116;&#114;&#111;&#45;&#98;&#121;&#45;&#119;&#114;&#105;&#116;&#101;&#114;&#45;&#112;&#97;&#117;&#108;&#45;&#99;&#108;&#105;&#110;&#116;&#111;&#110;&#47;\">Read More ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":469,"featured_media":1312,"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-1311","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 -
