Join us for a special book launch and screening exploring the evolution of short-form filmmaking through the work of cult production company Academy Films.
Short Form: 40 Years of Music Videos, Ads and the Art of Moving Images (MACK Books) is a dynamic new publication that reframes how we see short-form cinema. Tracing forty years of groundbreaking work in music videos and advertising, it highlights the artistry and influence of one of the UK’s most innovative production companies.
The evening will feature Adam Curtis, Jonathan Glazer, Walter Stern, and Iris Luz in conversation, reflecting on the cultural impact and creative legacy of Academy Films.
