• GAZWRX- The Films of Jeff Keen | DVD | (20/08/2012) from £21.98   |  Saving you £15.00 (75.04%)   |  RRP £34.99

  Jeff Keen's unique and imaginative filmmaking has outlived the various scenes in which it thrived: the sixties counter-culture, punk and beyond.Making work of immediate power and raw intensity on a range of film stocks (though always preferring 8mm: more oppositional, more disposable, less of a sell-out), this WW2 veteran, self-taught artist and pioneer of radical British independent filmmaking continues to defy categorisation. The forty-plus films presented here are drawn from the various phases of Keen's output, and reveal the astonishingly tireless talent of a unique individual not afraid to grapple with sex and war, or to experiment with multiple screen presentations, visceral soundtracks and brutal animation techniques.Truly inspired and inspiring, this collection is a testament to irrepressible force that is Jeff Keen.
