Abstract

John Smiths Girl Chewing Gum was made and shown at the London Film-Makers Co-op in 1976. Through its wit and imagination this film challenged the pervasive form of British avant garde experimentation at that moment structural materialism. Through a close reading of its signifying process it can be seen to address the mechanisms of mainstream cinema and the role of chance.
