Czech-born but UK-based filmmaker Vera Neubauer's work is highly diverse yet consistently challenging. From her early radical experiments in narrative structure, and innovative techniques — combining animation with live-action, collage, cut-outs and knitted films — her films have sometimes provoked extreme reactions. Her critique of the way ideology, myth, fairytales, history and politics inflect the narratives we use to mediate lived experience combines relentless curiosity, sometimes startling imagination, and provocative humour. Four programmes of short films.
