In almost half a century of making films mainly for TV - on subjects including cinema, literature, art, jazz, sport and popular culture - he has “defined and re-defined not only the televisual art documentary genre but has been able to make moving image pieces as a form of self portraiture”.

Mike will give a pre-show talk and then present his two-hour film ‘Seeing Through Drawing’.
