DESCRIPTION:William Fowler (Curator of artists' moving image\, BFI Nationa
 l Archive)\, will be presenting 'Night Life: Derek Jarman and the 80's New
  Underground Film Scene' as the first installment in the lecture series Mn
 emotechnics and the Archive. \n\nWilliam joined the BFI in 2005 as the arc
 hive’s first dedicated curator of artists’ moving image. Since then he
  has undertaken a number of film restoration projects\, seasons and DVD re
 leases. He conceived and co-programmes the BFI Southbank strand Essential 
 Experiments and co-conceived and co-programmes with Vic Pratt the popular 
 monthly programme The Flipside\; he also presents films internationally.\n
 \nDerek Jarman\, an English director and stage designer\, was renowned for
  his experimental super 8 mm films which formed the basis for much of his 
 oeuvre. However\, his best known film\, the eponymous biography of Michela
 ngelo Caravaggio\, is of particular interest with regard to Mnemotechnics 
 and the Archive as it interrogates the conventions of historical narrative
  by incorporating anachronism and considerable re-imagination of its sourc
 e material (much like the work of Ken Russell\, with whom he worked earlie
 r in his career). Ultimately\, Jarman's films serve to question the way in
  which we remember and rewrite history through the modern filmic narrative
 .
