Terry Flaxton

Terry Flaxton has made an eclectic mix of educational videos, artist's moving image and community video since the mid 1970s, first through Vida in the 1970s, then through Triple Vision in the 1980s, then as a freelance cinematographer in the 1990s, then through Ignition Films in the late 1990s and early 2000s, then as an academic. Flaxton became a Professor of Cinematography & Director of the Centre for Moving Image Research at  UWE Bristol. In 1985, he shot the 3rd electronically captured for 35mm release feature for the BFI and Channel 4. Later he helped in the development of Higher Dynamic Range capture and display and finally advised the Sci Tech committee at AMPAS on that subject. He  gained a PhD in 2018 in high resolution imaging –– that’s his 'materialist' work. In his own political work he has always supported the  rights of the individual to freedom and in his own artwork (now available on Sedition Art) he has championed 'the poetic' as a necessary political and spiritual gesture.
