Born in England, in 1961, Mark Nugent was a filmmaker, digital artist and writer. He collaborated with musicians (including Download, Dead Voices On Air, Coil, and Elliott Sharp) to create experimental films and live presentations.
His films combined his acute ability to cut and optically process seemingly abstract yet connected Super-8 and found film sources. Nugent used a variety of media to explore his fascinations: the realms of consciousness, perception, alchemy, mysticism and quantum physics.
He died in Montreal at the age of 48 in 2009.
This tribute acknowledges the passing of a rare talent, which we hope in some small way affords it wider recognition.
Mark Spybey (Dead Voices On Air, Download) will introduce the screening.
