Artprojx and Victoria Miro Gallery presents
UK premiere of William Eggleston's legendary experimental film, in the presence of the artist on Sunday 21 November 6pm - 8pm at the Prince Charles Cinema · 7 Leicester Place · London WC2
This one-off film, true cinéma vérité, was shot in the 1970s on early handicam and captures the beginning of a profoundly disenchanted decade. Drawing on intuition and ego Eggleston's scathing study of Memphis's shady underground exposes a world of wild nights, hard liquor, rock, drugs and firearms, of which he was a principal hell raiser.
Born in Memphis in 1939, William Eggleston has, for almost fifty years, photographed American life and in particular the southern states. Hailed as the father of colour photography, his ability to find beauty in the banal has changed the way we look at the world.
Stranded in Canton will be released on DVD later this year. Tickets £10 from Prince Charles Cinema Box Office 020 7494 3654 Further information & ticket discount ARTUPDATE.COM/LONDON
