Year:

Breaking Away to Come Together
Using only one camera, remote controlled mirrors and an external tilting device, Lacey alternates the perspective of angular planes on his face into that of a woman. Like archetypal statues, the images disintegrate, solidify and slowly re-assemble.0.0

The Lacey Rituals
Bruce Lacey: 'People used to come and make documentaries about me, but they weren't interested in the day-to-day family life that I found extremely interesting and funny. So I decided to make that film myself. All the members of the family wrote down all the different day-to-day things that they wanted to be seen doing.'0.0

When her new beau shows no desire to leave, the pair begin a years-long love affair right under Robert's nose.6.7

Year:
1965
The Alberts’ Channel Too
The crazy almost-launch to BBC2, starring The Alberts alongside Ivor Cutler, commissioned in the wake of their rule-changing love comedy theatre show, ‘An Evening of British Rubbish’. It’s Rubbish, but by Jingo – it’s British Rubbish!0.0
Year:
1964

The Plain Man's Guide to Advertising
A surreal mix of advertising tropes from the 1960s is very funny but has a neat anti-capitalist undertow.8.0
Year:
1962
The Preservation Man
The Preservation Man is about useless objects but here they're part of the artist Bruce Lacey's collection of random junk that is incorporated into his art with their original function is irrelevant. Sensibly, Russell and commentator Huw Wheldon keep analysis to a minimum, preferring to use the film as an excuse to spend a quarter of an hour in Lacey's amiable company.0.0
Year:
1962
It's Trad, Dad!

Year:

Everybody's Nobody
Starring Lacey as the Mobile Absurd Non-entity, aka M.A.N. – a “synchronized, pressurized, energized, moisturized moron” – this angry, Goon-like film rips apart the factory-produced, ‘ideal home’-type lifestyle aggressively marketed in the post-war era with playful, witty panache.0.0
Year:
1960
The Running Jumping & Standing Still Film
A short film without any direct action designed more as an experiment, with disjointed comic scenes with no common thread.5.4
Year:
1959
Agib and Agab
Free-form and anarchic in a very English way, this elaborate, gothic, handmade production was based on a tale from the ARABIAN NIGHTS and looks forward to FLAMING CREATURES and other underground movies from the 60s that merge lush fantasy with grimy reality. Art director Bruce Lacey stars as the ghoulish witch doctor who brings a dead body back to life.0.0
Year:
1953
Head in Shadow
A highly impressionistic film in which a blind man (Lacey) drifts through the war-damaged streets of Camden and Islington.0.0
