Description
Claes Söderquist (born in 1939 in Stockholm) is a trained artist, then filmmaker, teacher, curator, art consultant and long-time driving force and chairman of the Filmform Foundation (1992-2012). Söderquist has been active as an experimental filmmaker since the early 1960s. The book on Söderquist is the result of many years of conversations and collaborations, which also led the editors to organize screenings of his films nationally and internationally. A shared interest in the history of experimental cinema, where Söderquist's films constitute an unusual contribution in the Swedish context, led them to discuss his work in a broader international context.
The book includes an introduction, two interviews and texts by Nicky Hamlyn, Chris Kennedy, Masha Matzke, Els van Riel and Astrid Söderbergh Widding. It also contains numerous photographic documents.
