How to Enjoy Experimental film is your approachable user-guide to some of the most unusual and extraordinary moving image works ever created. Aiming at the newcomer to experimental films as much as those who love them already, presenter Dan Adams interviews artist filmmakers, film experts and programmers to shine a light on some of the darkest corners of the cinematic landscape. H2EEF aims to make the case for experimental film as something that can be widely enjoyed by viewers wherever you may be, as opposed to a niche interest.

UK video artist Peter Donebauer has enjoyed a rich and varied career, encompassing pioneering video art, work in commercial television, teaching and developing groundbreaking video equipment (The Videokalos Synthesiser).
Here, he discusses his first steps toward moving image art from his early explorations with 16mm film to his first major cycle of video pieces, The Creation Cycle. Wildly original and technologically innovative, Peter Donebauer's work occupies territory quite apart from many of his contemporaries in UK film and video art and are quite hard to classify. Boasting stunning abstract imagery, these are sensory experiences best viewed on a big screen in the dark!

H2EEF EXTRA: "Imprints" and "Codes for North" with Stephen Broomer
As well as being a teacher, publisher of great Canadian experimental films, producer of video essays and numerous other talents, Stephen Broomer is a prolific writer and editor. Here, we discuss two of his major book publications (one as author and one as co-editor) with a third due to be published soon.
The first of these books is Imprints: The Films of Louise Bourque, which he co-edited with Clint Enns and which collates a host of essays and supplementary material about Bourque's films. Louise has appeared previously on this show and the book was an invaluable resource for this episode, as well as a great starting point for any viewers interested to learn about her work.
