LUX Distribution looks back at V-F-X Ljubljana 2026! A festival dedicated to experimental film and video practices.

Our artist Vicky Smith curated three different programmes as part of BEEF (Bristol Experimental and Expanded Film). The first highlighted works from our founding predecessor the London Film-Maker’s Co-Op including LUX Artists: Malcolm Le Grice, Annabel Nicholson, William Raban, Guy Sherwin, Lis Rhodes, Sandra Lahire and Jayne Parker. Vicky’s recent work ‘Shedding’ also screened as part of the second programme.

The festival also featured two solo programmes with LUX Artists John Smith and Miranda Pennell.

John Smith’s programme showcased the diversity and breadth of his work. From a study into a small amphibian, in ‘Gargantuan’, 1992 to a linguistic examination of text and image in the English language in ‘Associations’, 1975.

Miranda Pennell’s playful and experimental portrayal of collective performance was highlighted in the first programme which featured ‘Human Radio’, 2002. Her inquisitive, almost forensic work with visual colonial archives was also showcased in the second programme, showing ‘Man Number 4’, 2024.

We were so happy to support this festival, our artists and all the important works that screened. If you want to know more about how to screen or view these works do not hesitate to get in touch!

Upcoming Exhibition: Asako Ujita: ‘Good Night’ from 18 June to 8 August 2026.

LUX is delighted to present the first solo exhibition by artist and filmmaker Asako Ujita, featuring her new film ‘Good Night’.

‘Good Night’ is a phrase spoken to a child before sleep, and to the dead before parting. Ujita’s film sits in this space where endings and beginnings overlap.

Made during Ujita’s pregnancy with her first son, ‘Good Night’ journeys to southern Taiwan where her great-grandfather had lived during the Japanese occupation. Known to her through a single postcard, he becomes an invisible guide through lakes, forests, caves and country roads.

Holding a tension between the landscape’s beauty and the colonial violence it contains, Ujita surfaces what the land holds and what it refuses to reveal.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a screening event programmed by Emma Bouraba responding to the exhibition. The film will be available with open captions by Carefuffle.

Further details are to be announced via the LUX website.

Online Lecture: Collaborative approaches to moving image preservation: Mona Jimenez in conversation with Brian Castriota

Date: Wednesday 17 June 2026
Time: 5-6pm BST
Online [Zoom]

The first online lecture in the ‘Sharing Strategies: Caring for moving image in the margins’ programme will see Mona Jimenez discuss her practice of collaborative, cross-cultural and community-engaged moving image preservation and how these models can be replicated and sustained.

A media preservationist, organiser and educator, Jimenez initiated the Audiovisual Preservation Exchange (APEX) and Community Archiving Workshop (CAW) models of community-based action toward the preservation of independent media and media art. They have fostered new networks across disciplines and borders through shared labour and a dedication to the exchange, archival and technical skills.

Jimenez will be in conversation with conservator Dr. Brian Castriota to discuss how these models have been and may continue to be implemented in a range of contexts.

- This online lecture is free but registration is required. Link in bio.
- Live captions will be provided.

This event is part of the ‘Sharing Strategies: Caring for moving image in the margins’ programme, a series of online lectures and a study day. Visit the link in our bio for more information.

‘Sharing Strategies’ is made possible with the support of the BFI Screen Heritage Fund, awarding National Lottery funding.

Essay: Narrative Warfare by Jordan Lord

A new essay by current exhibiting artist Jordan Lord is now available to read on the LUX website and via the link in bio.

“As more and more images document state violence—all of which are indefensible—there’s an ever-growing army paid to create narratives in their defence, laying the path for more.” - Jordan Lord

The essay exposes the racist propaganda campaign targeting Somalis in Minnesota in which documentary film and the use of captioning became a key tool. These narratives were amplified by Christopher Rufo, whom Lord researched for their exhibited film ‘Concealed and Denied’.

Lord traces the trickle-down impact of these fraudulent investigations within the Trumpian agenda and the subsequent ICE invasions. By unpicking a network of media, from blog posts to presidential directives, Lord explores how racist propaganda machines disguised as “journalism” can enable state legislated violence and deportation policies.

This is the final week of Jordan Lord’s exhibition ‘Narrative Warfare’, continuing until 31 May. Come and visit between 12-5, Friday-Sunday!

Online Workshop: Reading and Listening: Media Literacy Lab with Jordan Lord and Tiffany Sia

Date: Sunday 24 May 2026
Time: 2-4pm BST
Online [Zoom]

Led by artists and filmmakers Jordan Lord and Tiffany Sia, this media literacy lab accompanies Lord’s exhibition “Narrative Warfare” and Sia’s film ‘Do Not Circulate’ (2022) and continues an ongoing project developed in Lord’s practice in collaboration with Sia.

The session asks how we might reframe questions of media literacy drawing on questions that have animated their shared work:

- how narratives are constructed, weaponised, and contested across documentary, news media, and state-produced imagery
- what it means to read these forms under conditions in which the production of reality itself is at stake

Starting from the notion that access practices such as audio description and captioning are themselves forms of reading, we will consider how access is both a precondition and means of media literacy.

We will examine how state powers mediate access to audiovisual documents of violence, including those that nation-states produce and circulate as instruments of domination.

- This online workshop is free but registration is required. Link in bio.
- Capacity is limited.

Live captioning and BSL interpretation are available upon request. Please contact [email protected] by Monday 19 May 2026

Read and listen to Louise Hickman’s new text on LUX artist Jordan Lord’s work, now on our website.

This New Artist Focus essay considers Lord’s embedded access-building practice, offering insight into how captioning and audio description operate as practical, aesthetic and political forms within a wider disability arts context.

As Hickman writes: “Lord’s work is a pooling of resources that has both an aesthetic and narrative strategy. Their filmmaking practice builds captioning and audio description into their filmmaking. This commitment, present across Lord’s work, challenges the tendency to treat disability as an object of documentation, narrowly focusing on the symptoms of sickness and disability through a medical lens.”

Read via the link in our bio.

Jordan Lord’s work is distributed through LUX. To view, enquire via our website. Their exhibition ‘Narrative Warfare’ featuring their most recent work ‘Concealed and Denied’ is on at LUX until 31st May.
