The Intuitive Cut
Institute of Contemporary Arts
D’Est, dir. Chantal Akerman, 1993


This event, part of the continuing ‘Sensitive Film’ series co-organised with the Visible Institute at Kingston School of Art, invites esteemed editor Claire Atherton (Chantal Ackerman, Eric Baudelaire) to speak on the potential for new perspectives in editing, raising questions on  approaches to film editing and grammar. Claire will be joined by filmmaker and editor Juan Soto and New Creatives commissioned filmmaker Henry Bradley, screening his short film Frenulum (2020). The event will be chaired by director of the Visible Institute, filmmaker Phillip Warnell.
Claire Atherton is a film editor from San Francisco. Attracted by Taoist philosophy and visual ideograms, she studied Chinese philosophy, language and culture before turning towards cinema. In 1986, she started working with Chantal Akerman on Letters Home, which triggered a 30-year collaboration between them: on fiction films, documentaries and installations. Atherton works closely with a wide range of filmmakers and artists. In 2019, she received the Vision Award Ticinomoda, from the Locarno International Film Festival for her body of work.

Henry Bradley is an artist, filmmaker, and researcher working across forms of video art, documentary and critical studies. His recent video works have investigated a series of pedagogical and medicinal programmes which highlight the effects of neoliberal economic ideals, contemporary managerial techniques, and shifting environmental concerns on the human voice and speech.
