Making Series: ii. Film, Tactility and the Politics of Aesthetic Labour
3 July 2026 | Birkbeck Cinema
Centred on two short films — The Man Who Painted His House (Victoria Mills and Lily Ford, 2025) and Manual/Hands (Ford, 2026) — this event explores a cluster of interconnected themes: the spaces of making; haptic time; the temporalities of the house museum; aesthetic labour; and the hierarchies of arts, crafts, class and society.
This is the second event in BIMI's Making series, which explores the moving image as a lived cultural practice. Each event departs from a specific work to reflect not only on what moving image is about, but on how it is made: the collaborations, decisions and processes that constitute moving image practice in itself.
Part 2: Screening and Discussion. 18:30-20:30
A screening of The Man Who Painted His House (Victoria Mills and Lily Ford, 2025) and Manual/Hands (Ford, 2026), with introductory talks and a post-screening discussion chaired by Prof. Luisa Calè.
