Lis Rhodes (b. 1942, UK; based in London) is a seminal figure in feminist and experimental film whose multidisciplinary practice reshapes the political and poetic potential of image, sound and notation. Co-founder of the women’s distribution network Circles (later Cinenova), curator at the London Filmmakers’ Coop and longtime Slade lecturer, her landmark works—such as Dresden Dynamo (1972), Light Music (1975) and Whitehall (2012)—employ minimal imagery, immersive sound and political poetics to dissolve conventions of cinematic spectatorship.
