John Smith | Artist's Talk

Renowned artist filmmaker John Smith will visit CAST to speak about his work. Smith’s new work Being John Smith is on show at CAST from 12 May to 21 June, and will screen until 7pm on the evening of the talk. Smith will also share some of his other works as part of the evening.

John Smith was born in Walthamstow, London in 1952 and lives and works in London. He studied at North-East London Polytechnic and the Royal College of Art, after which he became an active member of the London Filmmakers Co-op. Inspired by conceptual art, structural film, and the immersive power of narrative and the spoken word, Smith has developed an extensive body of work that subverts the boundaries between documentary and fiction, representation and abstraction. Often rooted in everyday life, his meticulously crafted films examine and expose the language of cinema itself.
