Edited by Duncan ReekieISBN 978-1-0369-2476-8
‘Indispensable for anyone interested in the history of radical cinema’Cameron McCabe
Using archive photos, artwork, posters, propaganda and eye witness testimony, BOOM! charts the emergence of the Exploding Cinema collective from the art squats of Brixton to international infamy, from the analog machines of the nineties to the contemporary digital online cinema. For the last 3 decades, this unfunded gang of radical cinema activists have been staging regular monthly open access nights of short D.I.Y. underground film in pubs, clubs and squats across London; turning shabby interiors into temporary convivial utopias that seethe with multiple moving projections. They have screened thousands of short films and given thousands of filmmakers a live audience for their work. And although the key focus is the Exploding Cinema, this is also a history of the broader London underground cinema movement and includes material from numerous other groups and agents including MyEyesMyEyes, Omsk, the Halloween Society, Undercurrents, the Volcano! Film Festival, Kaos filmmgruppe and many others.
The book is compiled and edited by a founder member and filmmaker Duncan Reekie, but the content is a radical collage of collective creation assembled from the work of the rolling membership over 30 years.
