The ICA will be on general strike on Fri 20 Oct. Read more
This special event launches John Smith: Introspective (1972–2022), the most complete survey to date – 50 films from 50 years – of works by one of Britain’s most radical, best-loved and most influential artist filmmakers.
Part of the ICA 75th Anniversary Season
Tonight’s screening features a music-themed programme of Smith’s films, including a rarely seen TV commission for Echo & the Bunnymen. It also celebrates the vinyl LP release of Blight, Jocelyn Pook’s soundtrack for Smith’s film of the same name – and Smith and Pook will be reflecting on their collaboration in conversation following the screening.
The newly remastered score for Blight by Jocelyn Pook, released in a numbered edition of just 200 by purge.xxx, will be available for sale for the first time at this event – with copies signed specially for the occasion by Pook and Smith.
John Smith: Introspective (1972–2022) takes place every Thursday evening from October 6 until December 1 at Close-Up Film Centre (97 Sclater Street, E1 6HR), with events at the ICA on October 1 (with Jocelyn Pook), October 27 (with filmmaker Carol Morley) and December 1 (with musician Jarvis Cocker).
