Materiality of Time

Introduced by William Fowler, BFI National Archive and Natalie Brett Pro-Vice Chancellor London College of Communication with a screening of Raban's About Now MMX (2010), 28 minutes.

William Raban reflects on his filmmaking over the last four and a half decades paying particular attention to About Now MMX (2010) which is almost certainly the last of his works to be shot on film. Acknowledged for his contributions to expanded cinema, his films about London and the River Thames, Raban discusses his practice since he was a painting student at Saint Martin’s School of Art (1967-1971).

As the University continues to maintain and develop its profile as a global leader in arts research, a series of Professorial Platform lectures was launched in 2008.

The Platforms are an opportunity for University colleagues and associates, as well as invited members of the public, to learn more about the research undertaken in the University. The Platforms enable Professors to highlight their field of interest and the University, in turn, to recognise and commemorate their successes to date.
