Penny Slinger: Out of the Shadows - Limited Edition Blu-ray

The incredible, untold story of the British artist Penny Slinger and the traumatic events that led to the creation of her masterpiece, the 1977 photo-romance, An Exorcism.Coming of age against a backdrop of post-war austerity and the subsequent explosion of colour that characterised the 1960s counterculture, Slinger embraced her generation's quest for personal freedom and sexual liberation, and channelled these desires into her ground-breaking collages, sculptures, and films (including collaborations with Jane Arden and Peter Whitehead). So powerful was her vision that fifty years later her work is still influencing contemporary artists.ExtrasHigh Definition presentationOriginal stereo soundtrackAudio commentary with director Richard Kovitch (2020)Conversations in the Desert: Q&A with Penny Slinger (2019, 50 mins): the artist in conversation with writer and critic Chris Campion, recorded in Joshua Tree, CaliforniaReturn to Lilford Hall (2020, 5 mins): short film by Kovitch, detailing S
