Little Jewel Cinema JET SEASON 26th Nov 07 - 7th March 08

A Metre Before Impact. He Stopped, is a collaborative book by Ben Jeans Houghton and Matthew Giraudeau. Houghton created a huge library of drawn images, which inspired a narrative written by Giraudeau. The images were then carefully arranged to illustrate each line of the story. The reader can choose to view the book as a selection of separate, titled images, or a fully illustrated story. The book came about through the bringing together of the fractured and the linear, the enigmatic and discoverable.

The launch will also include a live performance from artist Cai Nyahoe and films in the Mobile Cinema Caravan from emerging film-makers.

A limited edition of the first run of 100 copies of A Metre Before Impact. He Stopped, signed by both Ben Jeans Houghton and Matthew Giraudeau will be on sale for £10 at the launch.
