MARK WEBBER PRESENTS KEN JACOBS' NERVOUS SYSTEM

In association with the BFI and LFF, Mark is now finally able to bring Ken Jacobs and his amazing projection performances to England in November. Using his Nervous System, Jacobs makes amazing 3D hallucinations from ordinary film. He will present live performances in London, Oxford and Nottingham, and there will be a touring film programme going further afield. These works have to be seen to be believed ... and they take some believing! Do not miss this unique opportunity to experience this live action cine-magic.
