I’m ready for my close-up: The strange short films of Jeff Keen
A Home Movie by Jeff Keen
For one night only (unless we inveigle them into doing more), the team of Resonance’s long missed Sunday night show Midnight Sex Talk are reunited on air for a special episode of I’m ready for my close-up…
Alex Fitch talks to Tania Glyde and Kim Morgan about the films of experimental film maker Jeff Keen, whose work is about to be showcased in 4 programmes at the BFI Southbank over the next couple of weeks and in a definitive DVD box set. Keen’s work ranges from comic book inspired free-for-alls featuring cameos by The Flash, The Spirit and Mickey Mouse, to vaguely erotic scenes of debauchery in squats, and apocalyptic visions in ancient quarries.

Comics news:
Here’s Johnny screening on More4
At 10pm on the 17th of February, there’s a screening of the film Here’s Johnny in the True Stories strand on the digital channel More 4 which concerns the work of 2000AD artist John Hicklenton who brought a unique look to the strips Nemesis the Warlock and Judge Dredd in the seminal British Sci-fi comic in the 1990s and beyond. The film looks at how the artist is coping with increasing dehabilitation by multiple sclerosis, includes interviews with the likes of fellow creators Pat Mills and Glenn Fabry and is well worth a watch.
