Stephen Dwoskin (15 January 1939 – 28 June 2012)[1] was a major avant-garde filmmaker[2] whose work was closely connected to the 'gaze theory' associated with Laura Mulvey; a significant disabled filmmaker – though he rejected being framed as such – and an activist for an alternative film culture, through such organizations as the London Film-Makers' Co-op and The Other Cinema.[3] His films are held by the BFI and distributed by LUX. His archive is held at The University of Reading.
