Mono and Queensland Film Festival present films by British filmmaker, artist, and musician Luke Fowler. Fowler’s 16mm films tell the stories of alternative movements in Britain. He works with archival footage, photography, and sound to create portraits of intriguing countercultural figures. Many works focus on music and musicians.

Fowler will introduce this screening, which includes his acclaimed film Electro-Pythagoras (A Portrait of Martin Bartlett) (2017). It pays tribute to Martin Bartlett (1939–93), a proudly gay Canadian composer who, during the 1970s and 1980s, pioneered the use of the microcomputer. Bartlett researched intimate relationships with technology and was particularly interested in handmade electronics.
