Recently he has been experimenting with archive, mainly the Arena archive itself, now numbering around 800 films. He has been exploring ways of bringing the past into the present and into the future, which involves cutting up and rearranging scenes and images to create new forms and reveal new meanings in archive beyond the original use and intention.

This session will celebrate the unique value of the original material and the innovative works which can be created from it and other archive material.
