LUX has just released a second DVD of Guy Sherwin's films. While the previous volume Optical sound films (1971/2007) collected Sherwin's works dealing with his research on the 'synaesthesic relationship between sound and image manifest in the material of film sound', Messages deals with his more personal and lyrical films.

The publication will be celebrated in a launch event at Cafe Oto on Tuesday 23rd February 2010. Several of Guy Sherwin's films will be screened accompanied by a live soundtrack by John Edwards, Steve Noble and Alan Wilkinson.

The films included in this compilation are Messages (1981-4), Flight (1994-8), Prelude (1980-96), Filter Beds (1990-98) and Views from Home (1987-2005). Includes a small artists’ book and a specially commissioned essay on children and language by writer and critic Nicholas Tucker. DVD, PAL, 70 minutes, Region free, 20 GBP.
