DELUXE CRITICAL FORUM, ARTISTS FILM

Deluxe started in July 2023, as a natural progression from LUXs 22/23 year-long Critical Forum programme for Artist filmmakers. Since “graduating” from LUX in July 2023 we formed Deluxe and meet in person each month, having naturally distilled from a group of twenty to fifteen, with members ranging in age from 25-70’s, and nationalities including UK, Japan, Kazakhstan and Poland.

Our myriad backgrounds support film as both digital and analogue, progressive and interdisciplinary, embracing film in relationship with performance, sculpture, music, photography, sound, literature and painting.

We support one another in making films, artworks, showing in exhibitions, making publications, co-curating events and public screenings and take turns to lead themed presentations, crits, workshops and discussions, coming together to co-curate the popular ‘Sunscreen’ film and performance event at LUX for Summer Solstice 2023.
