"Exposing Muybridge" Documentary Screening 5 Aug 2022

6x6 Centre for Photography partners up with the 17th Lemesos International Documentary Festival for another edition and presents the screening of the documentary feature film “Exposing Muybridge”, by Marc Shaffer.
Friday, 5 August, 20:30

Lanitis Carob Mill (Ceronia Hall), by the Medieval Castle of Limassol
Synopsis:
Few figures have played such a seminal role in our moving picture history as the revolutionary photographer Eadweard Muybridge. His unprecedented images of running horses instantly transformed the camera into a machine of unmatched powers of perception and persuasion, and set the course for the birth of cinema. Muybridge was a complicated man whose personal story was imbued with ambition, success, loss, and even cold-blooded murder. He directly inspired numerous artists from Francis Bacon to David Hockney to Gary Oldman, whose passionate contribution to this documentary is exceptional.
