## [(Experi)mental Films from Prague screens in Leeds and London](https://animate.org.uk/editorial/2001/09/experimental-films-from-prague-screens-in-leeds-and-london/)

This season of experimental films out of Prague focuses on the independent and individual character of filmmaking.

Programmes include an archive showcase of innovative films from the 20s and 30s which critically influenced the development of classical avant-garde cinema, the work of young independent directors who experimented during the 90s with physical manipulation of film, other recent experimental shorts from the Czech Republic, and the first UK performance by the film action and expanded cinema group Ultra.

The season runs 2-4 October at the Leeds International Film Festival and 4-6 October at The Lux cinema in London.
