Last issue we reviewed the British Film lnstitute’s new collection of Keen’s crazy experimental shorts of DVD. If you would rather see them at the cinema, now's your chance. Sussex based Keen made some of the maddest avant-garde British films of the last 40 years, the only filmmaker he is really comparable to is Kenneth Anger. These wonderfully weird films, most of which were shot on Super 8, really do need to be seen to be believed. I GFT. G/asgow. W80 78. Thu 2 Apr.
