In this short paper, I introduce the work of the artist group Teaching and Learning Cinema, which re-enacts Expanded Cinema artworks from the 1960s and 70s. I make a connection between sociality (which binds together artists in collectives and screening "clubs") and the issue of medium-specificity. Re-enacting Expanded Cinema, I suggest, gently probes at the intersection of medium-specificity and sociality. This practice asks questions about the material qualities of film, video and performance, and the particular relations these media carry across time and culture.In this short paper, I introduce the work of the artist group Teaching and Learning Cinema, which re-enacts Expanded Cinema artworks from the 1960s and 70s.
