1960〜1970年代という革新的時代を駆け抜けたイギリス・エクスペリメンタルフィルム作家による貴重な作品を、同国ロンドンの老舗実験フィルム配給会社LUXがDVD化！！こちらは各作家ごとに分けて紹介するAfterimagesシリーズのNo.3。1970年代前半よりUKアヴァンギャルドフィルム界の重要人物として活動する女性作家Lis Rhodesによる1978年〜1988年までの3作品。マスト。

Lis Rhodes has been at the forefront of British experimental filmmaking since the early 1970s. She studied at the North East London Polytechnic and the Royal College of Art. A strong formal aesthetic has been developed in her films, reflecting her involvement with the debates and practice which emerged from the London Filmmakers' Co-operative, where she was Cinema Curator 1975-6. Early 'expanded' works such as Light Music (1975) fused performance and multi-screen projection with an exploration of the visual qualities of sound. Her analysis of broader political and social questions can be traced to her later films, which combine formal rigour with a passionate critique of issues from nuclear power to domestic violence. As an active campaigner for women's rights, Rhodes was a founder member of Circles, the first women's artist film and video (1979) and was an Arts Advisor to the Greater London Council between 1982 and 1985. She lives and works in London and teaches at Slade School of Fine Art, University College, London.
