THE BATTLE OF ORGREAVE
Introduced by the artist Jeremy Deller
(Deller/Figgis / UK / 2001 / 60mins / uncert)
(Thurs 3rd Feb / 7.30pm / £4/3 from Arnolfini bookshop or 0117 9172300)
The story of the extraordinary re-enactment, conceived by Jeremy Deller, of the violent confrontation between striking miners and police outside a coking plant at Orgreave in 1984. Deller's collaboration with event organiser Howard Giles includes interviews with some of the 800 re-enactors and local participants involved in Deller's event as well as film of the recreation of the climactic clash of the bitter miners' strike. Commissioned and produced by Artangel in association with Channel 4.
Much of Deller's work involves collaboration with individuals and groups of people. Acid Brass was a series of concerts and a recording by the Williams Fairey Band playing Brass Band interpretations of classic acid house anthems, and The Uses of Literacy was an exhibition of writing and artwork made by fans of the rock band The Manic Street Preachers. In 2004 Deller was awarded the Turner Prize.
