SPECIALISED TECHNIQUE

William Sellers and the Colonial Film Unit developed a framework for colonial cinema, and this included slow edits, no camera tricks and minimal camera movement. Hundreds of films were created in accordance with this rule set. In an effort to recuperate black dance from this colonial project, Specialised Technique, attempts to transform this material from studied spectacle to livingness.
