Luke Fowler is an artist, filmmaker and musician from Glasgow whose film work experiments with the conventions of biographical and documentary cinema. In 2016 he and Richard McMaster performed their original sound composition/live score accompaniment to Warren Sonbert’s 1966 DIVIDED LOYALTIES at Glasgow International, a biennial festival of contemporary art, which was also presented recently presented by Light Cone at Le Luminor Hôtel de ville in Paris.
The Estate of Warren Sonbert has previously named GME as the custodian of the legacy of experimental filmmaker Warren Sonbert (1947-1995). Since his untimely passing, GME has worked on an extensive project to preserve, distribute and curate career retrospectives of his films on an international basis, as well as publish original documents from the paper archive of his writings, which are now housed at Harvard University.
A new, 2K digital version of DIVIDED LOYALTIES will be added to GME’s Warren Sonbert Collection in 2023.
