Event Luke Fowler

Luke Fowler

MONO x QFF Screening

27 February 2019
6–8pm

Mono and Queensland Film Festival present films by British filmmaker, artist, and musician Luke Fowler. His 16mm films use archival footage to tell the stories of intriguing countercultural figures and movements in Britain. Many focus on music and musicians. Fowler will introduce this screening, which includes his acclaimed film Electro-Pythagoras (A Portrait of Martin Bartlett) (2017). This film pays tribute to Martin Bartlett (1939–93), a proudly gay Canadian composer who pioneered the use of the microcomputer in the 1970s and 1980s. Bartlett researched intimate relationships with technology and was particularly interested in handmade electronics.

We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
