French filmmaker, author, photographer and video maker Christian Lebrat joins How to Enjoy Experimental Film to discuss his entire output of works made on celluloid film.
Christian produced these works between 1975-1985 and can see and read Christian’s work from Re:Voir, either using their smartphone app or on DVD.
Often wrongly described as a 'structuralist' filmmaker, Lebrat's films fragment the film image and allow the audience the freedom to enjoy a unique experience of colour and movement.
Christian is the founder of Paris Experimental, a publishing house dedicated to writing about experimental cinema, which now boasts a huge catalogue of books. Christian's book Radical Cinema as available in an English-Language edition, as are some others.
Now working in still photography and video, Lebrat is as active as ever and we look forward to returning soon with another extended episode discussing his non-celluloid works!
