“For two years, artists Neil Cummings and Marysia Lewandowska conducted intensive research into the history of the factory workers’ film clubs of Lewandowska’s native Poland. The result was an archive of amateur films and related materials that had been produced between the 1950s and the mid-1980s during the Communist era. The project culminated in a series of exhibitions, publications and web-based projects. Enthusiasmic draws on this history by presenting films which specifically speak to themes and processes that have long captivated Pleasure Dome’s audiences: radical sexuality, film experimentation, community engagement, amateur production and unofficial archives.” Scott McLeod
