Terry Flaxton

Terry Flaxton has made many kinds of sound and moving image work since the mid-1970’s, first through Vida in the ’70’s, then  through Triple Vision in the ’80’s, then as a freelance cinematographer i the 90’s, then through Ignition Films in the late '90’s and early  '00’s, then as an academic finally becoming Professor of Cinematography & Director of the Centre for Moving Image Research at  UWE Bristol. In ’85 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 the materialist stuff: 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.
